Crimson Cherry Rhubarb

Some reviews had me worried, but I took the large knobby root I got and put it in a bucket to soak for a couple hours before I planted it up. It’s been a couple months now and small leaves are poking through and growing so I’m hoping it took! Won’t be able to tell the taste of this rhubarb versus other varieties I have until years down the line… but hopefully this one is a good one!

Just planted it a couple of weeks ago. Rhubarb crown was very large, thick and healthy looking with many growing "points". A couple of small leaf buds have started growing healthily at this point. I'm very optimistic.

I would like to tell you that I put the so- called root in the ground here and I live in a rural NJ place and it did nothing. I dug down after awhile and saw that the root did sprout any shoots , roots ... nothing. When I got this root it was barely wrapped in a small piece of brown paper and just put in a rectangular box, with no other protection wrapping on it. I was extremely disappointed.

We received both plants and immediately put them in the ground and each seem to be enjoying their new home. Both plants sent shoots to the surface of the ground the leaves are about the size of a hand at this time. I have high expectations.
