My plants are over 15 and still growing strong. If you want some root stock let me know and when it comes up I will send you some to try.

I would love to take you up on your offer. I haven't mentioned it but I may be moving 150 miles south which means rhubarb will be even iffier; technically you can't grow it as a perennial in FL. (Jville has a very unique climate but locating property I can live in here without being subjected to lots of crime has been impossible.) If I do relocate, I'll lose 300+ chill hours which eliminates any hope for nursing along zone 7 plants. Darn. If I go, I plan to have a spare fridge where I'll store homebrew during the warmest 10 months and use it to vernalize roots and such during the other 2.
