A vigorous and heavy producer. Edible stalks are ready for harvest in late spring into summer. Rhubarb can be enjoyed in baking and preserves.
Canada Red: With bright red, thick stalks and a naturally sweet taste, Canada red is perfect for sauces, jams, and low-sugar recipes. Exceptionally hardy, it thrives in cold Canadian climates.
Green Wine: Known for its green stalks with red speckles, this variety offers a mild, tart-sweet flavour. Ideal for wine making and cooking, it's cold hardy and reliable in cooler climates.
Macdonald Red: This deep red rhubarb boasts sweet, tender stalks that retain their colour when cooked. A favorite for desserts and fresh use, it's both flavourful and visually appealing.
