I have a KangaRhu that I planted last year, and it’s following my usual rhubarb establishment pattern so far. Not much growth last year, and better this year but not great still. It also started to bolt; I think it was bred out of selections from Victoria seedlings. The no-name family heirloom next to it is going gangbusters. I may have to move KangaRhu to a different spot, as the heirloom rhubarb has come into its own enough now that it will shade out poor kanga if I’m not paying attention. I think kanga is also having trouble because Gurney’s sent a runty tissue culture plant that could have used a few more weeks in the greenhouse before it had to face the elements and my benign neglect.
