I'd leave it because the rhubarb obviously knows something you don't

I've already had a few slender sticks off mine. Despite the wind and rain this winter, it has been really mild - hence the early growth

Mum! Did someone blink?

Our three rhus are about 6" high, but in an enclosed pot arrangement which looks stupid but still works...;0)

I was wondering about this. I have 5 crowns I rescued when I took my plot over and one of the crowns already has around 10 sticks 8" high! I have been very tempted to take some to eat.... Maybe I should?

The other crowns are just beginning to show red....

You're all forbidden from mentioning rhubarb as there are no signs of life from ANY of mine again. 

[mumofstig]

You'll have to get yourself some Timperley Early and plant it in a sheltered, sunny position
