What to do when rhubarb flowers

Filed under: fruit — Tags: , — TopVeg @ 6:25 am

Rhubarb flowers should be removed as soon as they are seen.

  • Hold the flowering-stalk close to the ground
  • Pull upwards twisting the stalk
  • Remove the flowering stalk to the compost heap

If the rhubarb flower is left on the plant,  the root will be weakened & the stalks will be weak and thin.
