This Essex bred rhubarb is the earliest variety we know of! Rhubarb ‘Thompson’s Terrifically Tasty’ produces delicious, chunky pink stalks which narrow slightly at their green tips and will be ready to harvest from March all the way through to July. Perfect for making jam and baking in crumbles and pies.Height: 60cm (24″). Spread: 120cm (48″).Estimated time to cropping once planted: 16-20 months.Estimated time to best yields: 28-32 months. Plant rhubarb from autumn to spring in a sunny position in well drained soil. Prepare the soil in advance by digging in plenty of well rotted manure and clearing all weeds. When planting budded pieces from mature rhubarb crowns, set them so that the top of the crown sits 3cm (1″) below soil level and allow a spacing of 75cm (30″) between plants. Alternatively plant them in large containers of soil based compost such as John Innes No 3. mixed with plenty of rotted manure.
