Hi all,

My rhubarb has shot up and now has big leaves on 10'' stalks- this is great, but it's an old plant and really needs splitting.. am I too late?

Much love.

You can split it now, but don't expect much harvest this year as the roots will spend energy recovering rather than producing.

If spring isn't a good time to divide the rhubarb, then do it in fall when it starts to die down and you can still find it. It'll hang in until then.

i agree i split mine late last year as in the summer      i have 4 more crowns growing but i wont take any this year from them  as said best done in the winter

but rhubarb is the cheiftan tank of vegtables   :blink:
