Do not disturb rhubarb roots when cultivating round the plant.\nBetter in cooler climates, but can be grown in shady areas of warm climates.\nYou can lift and divide rhubarb to make more plants. It is best to do this when the plant is dormant (or at least less actively growing) in winter or late autumn.\nIt is best to wait until a plant is about 5 years old before dividing the crown but it can be moved at any age. Some of the root structure will be damaged when lifting it, so stalk production will not be so good for a few months.\nIf you have mild winters and your rhubarb is still producing new stalks, you can continue to pick it.\nAlthough rhubarb is used in desserts and jams, it is considered a vegetable because the stalks are used not the fruit.",
