A query from a friend of mine regarding rhubarb leaves forming then dying back .
He has rhubarb that is forming leaves, the leaves stay a little while , then die back. he thinks he is on over rich soil.
Any suggestions ? |

Hmm, sounds more like a lack of water issue. Leaves forming but not enough water to sustain them. Is there any other competition planted next to the rhubarb which could be sapping it. _________________ How to post pics on the forum.
