Due to the low oxalic acid content, the rhubarb remains beautifully juicy for a very long time.

CultureCulture: Planting distance 100 x 100 cm. Sowing depth: Spread seed only thinly and do not cover with soil. LocationLocation: Sunny to semi-shady, deep, humus-rich, nutrient-rich soil. Harvest / flowering: Harvest usually only in the 2nd year from April - June. Do not cut off the stems, but break them off at the base. UseUse: For compote, rhubarb pie, juice and jam. Tip: Rhubarb has a high nutrient requirement, so don't forget to fertilize in spring.
