efgh Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I want to reset some rubarb, some place I heard you should reset it in the fall. Was wondering if this is true? When reseting do you seperate the root stock or not? How deep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jentz Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wait till after a good frost and the plant goes dormant.It can be divided as long as its a established plant and not new.Keep it or them watered good right up to freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lund79 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Fall is when I have done it in the past. I do not separate the root stock. I dig a nice area around the base and bring up the whole thing. I like to get extra dirt around so I am not disturbing the roots. I try to plant the same depth as you just dug out as long as the tops are not showing through the dirt. If they are, then dig a couple inches lower to keep them buried. Remember after a re-planting, do not harvest for 1 year to establish itself again. You will be much happier with the yield.
