Rhubarb - Fruit & Nuts
Rhubarb : Champagne 3 crowns One year crowns. Early variety, which can be forced to give early, pinkish tinged stems. Stems have a darker red base and colour if not forced. |
Rhubarb : Giant Grooveless Crimson 1 plant A compact plant that produces many uniform, fully coloured bright red stems up to 30cm (12in) tall with a flavour that is less acidic than many cultivars. Thompson & Morgan have teamed up with the RHS to offer the first AGM cultivars from its 112 plant National Collection of Rhubarbs. This has historically been held at RHS Harlow Carr in Yorkshire, the centre of the rhubarb growing industry, then later moved to RHS Wisley in Surrey. These cultivars have been increased in number by using a specialist micropropagation laboratory to eliminate virus and provide healthy plantlets, which are potted on to form a small crown ready for planting Although these plants are young they will quickly mature, resulting in crowns big enough to harvest from 2 years after planting. |
