I dug some up from my Grandma's old place 20+ years ago, they are still doing great.

Perfect!

The huge leaves are awesome if you want to make a bird bath from them, it's been a long time but I used sand mix type cement.

Oh thats a super fun idea!

I don't need more plants I'm not a big rhubarb fan I like it but I don't really use it much in my day to day so the two plants is more than enough.

I love my rhubarb jam! I make it so that it's not as sweet as most recipes. If I had to buy the rhubarb, it would cost me about $20.

I nake strawberry rhubarb homemade ice cream with mine every year. I get about a gallon of ice cream out of it pending my strawberries and rhubarb both do well which is more than I eat in a year I'm not a huge daily ice cream person

I don’t make it myself, but I know of a winery that makes rhubarb wine. It’s pleasantly tart.

This is the answer I was looking for thank you! I just wasn't sure if they needed to be split or pruned in any way after a certain number of years that makes total sense I don't need more plants I'm not a big rhubarb fan I like it but I don't really use it much in my day to day so the two plants is more than enough. The previous owners of this house planted it I'm surprised they didn't dig it up and take it with them!

I would have taken it with me, I love rhubarb

I make strawberry rhubarb pie and jelly every year. Keep in mind, the leaves are poisonous

Yes thank you! I always cut them off. OK to put in my compost pile I assume though as long as none of my animals eat out of it right?
