It isn't so much about climate or temp, as rhubarb is a cool
temperate crop -- they even grow it in the Faroes -- it really is
mainly about the darkness, so they get pure pink tender stems.

But what of the taste? Is it significantly different to the field
grown stuff?

I've never bought rhubarb in my life, but I imagine it's the same as
home-grown blanched: milder flavour, less acid.
