HTH.
Thanks everyone, I think Ive got it now! :-D

From that site:

During subsequent years three or four stalks can be pulled at a time with
three or four left on the plant. It is usually possible to harvest two or
three times per plant per year between May and August.

Does that really mean only 6-12 sticks per plant?
I reckon you can pull sticks from each crown to leave 2 or 3 good leaves on each crown. But with a large plant, 2 or 3 sticks is quite a weight of rhubarb!
