I found this in a neighbors yard years ago and never knew why it did that. My son in law killed my rhubarb plant last year. It was at there house and I thought doing nicely, my daughter thought it wasn't getting enough sun. they moved and it died. I told her she couldn't compare a new plant to the neighbors who had there plant growing for 20+ years. be patient. they moved it any way.Thanks for the info.Helpful Reply -

Never cut rubarb pull the stock out. It is normal for it to go to seed keep the stalk pulled out I use rubarb from April to Sept.. Easy to freeze wash, trim and cut, bag and put in freezer. A wonderful taste of spring in the winter. My favorite is rubarb custard pie. Enjoy.Helpful Reply -

That is called bolting. Comes early in growing season when warm. I just break the seed pod off as low to the ground as possible.. Don'let in place or plant will go to seed.Helpful Reply -
