Moving Rhubarb
*
I'd like to give a couple of clumps to my neighbor but have never moved any. Should it be done in very early spring ? How much of a root clump has to go to insure survival ? Thanks Ma |

Thanks Ma Dig it up, give it away. It takes napalm to kill rhubarb. Don't bother being gentle with it. Give your neighbor a couple of crowns out of a clump, and, if you have any, some cow manure or compost to plant it in. The best time to move rhubarb is in early spring, just because it hasn't sprouted all the big growth yet. It's a weed. Just do it. The rhubarb will be fine. If yours is in big clumps and you separate it to give it away, it'll go wild when it gets replanted. It likes to be separated every few years, or the yield drops way off. If anyone has a good rhubarb wine recipe, email it to me, okay? I've put about 30 pounds of stalks into the freezer so far, for wine. Jan |
