Rhubarb Plants
Fruit Trees, Nut Trees and Fruit BushesIf you are going to plant a tree or bush, then it is going to be there for some years. So it's well worth spending some time looking at the different varieties and going for something that will be productive and providing you with a good crop in years to come. Time spent to prepare the ground properly will repay you many times over. Rhubarb VictoriaA very hardy, easy to grow variety. Perfect for that rhubarb crumble and custard with the rhubarb picked straight from the garden! Stalks are greenish coloured and sweet flavoured and not as stringy as some varieties. Supplied in a 3 litre pot.
