Apparently the couple rhubarb plants at my parent's house are likely over 100 years old. It was my mom's grandmother's house, built in 1915. If you find a spot it really likes, it can outlive you

@Saint696Anger 2 года назад

that's pretty cool

Our rhubarb came from my great grandfathers house. My grandfather took a split when he moved out. then my father took a split of my grandfathers when he moved out and I took a split of my dads and my kids can take a split of mine. and I'm 40. Who knows where my great grandfather got it. could have split it off a 100 year old plant already.

FINALLY something that shows me how a ready to harvest seeds look like, i dont know why but i culdnt find info on google about it, most info was about harvesting rhubarb when its already grown, or planting it from pot to ground. Thanks for the video :)

Thanks for the informative video... When is the best time to plant the seeds.. or do you need to keep them for a few months inside to dry off

the forbidden cornflakes. awesome ty mine flowered in march, very excited to sell the baby rhubarbs back to the person who sold me the first rhubarb plant :D nice to see the plant still thriving post seeding././

@gogotrololo 3 года назад

i got a packet of victoria seeds this year, and plate germinated them. They started setting roots in day 3, i put them to soil and i have them coming up in day 5. I dont know that they will be slow enough to make it to the last frost here at the end of May........ I'm trying to give some away to friends and family, i already have too many rhubarbs! HELP! LOL

@marinahelsel4401 3 года назад

Thank you for this video! My question for you is: I am trying to let seed mature on the stalk, but they fall off easily when even wind blows. Should I collect it green, or let it go and see if I will have anything left in June. Half of the seeds are on the ground already all green. Any input on this matter is greatly appreciated!

@Growyourheirlooms 3 года назад

If they are falling off, you have no choice but to pick them. They may brown up after picking but mine have never fallen off early. you may try to lay the stalk down. That may help. Either way, roll up a few of the green ones in a wet paper towel and see if they germinate.

@JS-jh4cy 2 года назад

What about putting a paper bag or long towel around the stalk so they don't blow off and the damn deer 🦌 don't eat it all up

@leannejergensen7940 Год назад

Do you know if any animals (birds, rabbits...) eat rhubarb seeds. We have 25 rhubarb plants and do not need anymore. But I like the flowers, and with this many plants, letting the flowers grow does not decrease the size of our haul of rhubarb enough to bother cutting the flowers out. But I would love to know if there is another use for the seeds besides growing more rhubarb from them.

@Growyourheirlooms Год назад

I don't know if any animals like them. I have not seen any show an interest in mine.

@sharongodbout9014 4 года назад

Hello my rhubarb has to be at least 9 years old and I have never seen a flower stalk grow out of it. I must be doing something wrong! lol

@Growyourheirlooms 4 года назад

Not really. Sometimes for no apparent reason a plant will bolt. I've had mine 4 years now and this is the first time.

@Roy-ur6vr 4 месяца назад

Well done. You kept me from getting them off too early.

@valeriehowden471 4 года назад

I have only grown from divisions given to me by friends. Never let them go to seed (snap off the bloom) so the plant grows better. The seeds look interesting for sure.

@Growyourheirlooms 4 года назад

It is true if you let it go to seed, the stalk is inedible. But I wanted seed and I have plenty of plants.

@donnagarms8470 3 года назад

@JS-jh4cy 2 года назад

I don't know what type rhubarb I have from nursery, last year I brought 3 types and the deer 🦌 ate all of the leaves and stems just before harvesting time, now a year later one type is growing a flower stalk

@RocketPipeTV 4 месяца назад

Very interesting video. Do you know how long the seeds last if stored properly?

@Growyourheirlooms 4 месяца назад

2-3 years

@GarethWong Год назад

curious, thought we should not let them go to seed as the plant will lose its 'vigour'? how do you find yours after this seed harvest?

@Growyourheirlooms Год назад

They do just fine and grow back every year as healthy as ever

@elaineclarke5157 2 месяца назад

When do you plant the seeds? and do they go in the ground as you have them there, or does the seed drop out of the case - so to speak?

@Growyourheirlooms 2 месяца назад

in the spring. i start them indoors during winter and plant out in may

@CliffCarson Год назад

I read that the harvested seed is not really viable beyond the 2nd year. but you implied that the seed will last longer?

@sislau Год назад

I have guilt! I should have watched your video before I pulled the seeds off ... Will they work if they're starting to fall off, so you go ahead and pull them all off? They've not dark brown :/ ... If I let them dry, will that maybe help them propagate?

@Growyourheirlooms Год назад

If they're falling off on their own then they are fine. I always let mine dry out in my garage out of direct sunlight for a few days then put them in paper bags

Hello, great video thanks for making it. I have Rhubarb in one small spot in yard, but I am told it is a rare type and neighbors all want to pick it for pie's. Its been growing at house since about 1933. I would like to know how would I get seeds from it and then plant them to make more rhubarb grow in garden? please

@Growyourheirlooms Год назад

A few things will make a rhubarb plant flower. Age, Lack of Water, Heat and any other kinds of stress. The older a plant gets, the more likely it will bolt. You could encourage it to bolt but you might damage the plant. It will eventually bolt on its own. The problem is, if it's happy it may be many years. If the plant is large enough, you could split the crowns to grow new plants. That's the best way to duplicate it and that's what I would do

@GrenPara Год назад

@@Growyourheirlooms Hello, Thanks for the fast reply. So I should split the root/bulb where the stalks of rhubarb come out of? Does that mean there would simply be the same amount but in a bigger area? I used to have 3 patches/areas but about 10 years ago when I went away for a week someone dug up 2 of the patches. I searched my area for years but could never see anyones yard groing any.

@Growyourheirlooms Год назад

@@GrenPara Yes it splits where the stalks come out. Best time is in early spring. The crowns kind of split the way you split potatoes with eyes. Make sure a stalk is at each node

@GrenPara Год назад

@@Growyourheirlooms Thanks, for the help and time I will make note for next spring. Thanks again for the help and info. Have a great summer.

@mysticalsprings1998 Год назад

I harvest green because I have wind and if I didn't they would all be gone

@lpsstacy Год назад

Are the seeds still viable when picked not brown? Thanks 😊

@brendathompson338 4 года назад

I was always told not. To let rhubarb go to seed orbit will kill your plant. So that’s not true? Is it true a frost makes them poisonous? I didn’t pick any this year because of frost.

@Growyourheirlooms 4 года назад

The leaves are poisonous any time of the year. And if the plant goes to seed, the crowns will still survive and regrow the following year. As for frost, they are very cold hardy.

@dawnheller4859 2 года назад

Enjoyed your video, waiting for my seeds to arrive!! I live in central Florida south of Tampa, will I be able to grow your rhubarb? I've been told I will have to plant every year, is this true? Thank you.

@Growyourheirlooms 2 года назад

Thanks, they are on their way. Rhubarb does not like really hot weather so it may be tough but give it a try. You might want to google growing rhubarb in Florida. As for replanting, no. My victoria rhubarb plants have been in the same location for 9 years and they keep reproducing and dropping seeds. Once you plant them, you're good for life.

@dawnheller4859 2 года назад

@@Growyourheirlooms Thank you I have received the seeds. Should I start them in pots or in the ground? When should I get the seeds started? Now if I want rhubarb when strawberries are ready in January. Thank you

@Growyourheirlooms 2 года назад

@@dawnheller4859 You won't get much the first year. It is recommended you don't start harvesting until the second year. I started mine indoors in Jan and transplanted them in April. You could try a few direct sown since you don't get much frost.

Are rhubarb open pollen and not hybrid? If my plant from nursery not hybrid and can I expect that the seed be true to the species type when growing from seed next year and how long does it take a rhubarb to grow up from seed to good harvesting sized stems?

@Growyourheirlooms 2 года назад

Depends on the type. Mine are "Victoria" which are open pollinated. If grown from seeds, it will take a few years for them to grow large enough to start harvesting.

@MyFavoriteColorIsBLUE 3 года назад

Will the ones that aren't dead yet, still grow? Or do you have a wait until they look like dead? Thank you
