Rhubarb....when to cut

Does rhubarb have a season...or do you just cut it as and when. I have three plants that are about four feet high.

we have been pulling ours for a couple of weeks now, don't cut it, pull it. make sure you leave at least 5 stalks per crown though and dont pull it after mid July

Hi, next year why not try putting a deep bucket over one of the plants, forced rhubarb is early and lovely and sweet.

when flower stalks come up, should they also be pulled, or cut?

Cut!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
