There is a big rhubarb plant a the front of the house. For all I know, it's 20 or 30 years old. I think it would be happier if I divide it and fill in that area with new soil, so it isn't so crowded. Plus, it's not necessarily the best location for a rhubarb plant. I wanted the divisions in a new location, so they will be harvestible in a year or two. This is the reddest, sweetest rhubarb I have had, and I don't know the name.
When I dug what I thought was one division, it fell apart into two. So I planted them separately. They seem to have pretty good roots. I planted them in one of the apple mini orchards, where I think they will get enough light. If they are in the way or don't thrive, I can move them this fall.
