Its 3 yrs old in its current location, 3 yrs in a previous location. Since we got it 6 yrs ago, its flowered every year.
The soil is reasonably loose, friable loam. I top dress with garden compost every year prior to start of growth.
Its in full sun & sheltered.
I've not yet watered this year, but normally during cropping and through summer I do water. Having said that, it's a bit early to be seeing water stress, isn't it...?
The plant is showing no signs of nutrient defficiency. I'd guess nitrogen is the nutrient most needed by rhubarb, and I've never seen any sign of N problems.
In terms of it's neighbours, on one side there's a black current, on the other side is veg, to the north of the rhubarb (about 3m away) there's an apple tree, and in front of it is lawn. |
