20 years old. someone gave me a start and I've never done anything with it. it's looking a bit straggly and I just got the idea I might need to divide it? anybody have any knowledge about that? thanks, Kitty |

Rhubarb does not like crowding and will diminish in both yield and hardiness the more it is compacted. Divide mature crowns into 4-10 sections (depending on age and condition) and replant a minimum of 24" apart. KW |
