Never buy rhubarb again once you master this one technique. Splitting and transplanting rhubarb gives old plants a renewed lease of energy, multiplies your stock for free and keeps even the oldest varieties producing for decades. In this video I show you the full process using a Mammoth Red rhubarb rescued from a plot we left three years ago.
If your rhubarb is throwing flower spikes or declining, splitting and transplanting is the single best thing you can do to revive it.
