Two years ago, I was given a rhubarb plant and because I had nowhere else to plant it at the moment, I stuck it in the ground too close to the garage. I knew it was going to be too huge for that spot, but necessity is the mother of compromise.
Now it's time to move it and of course, it's huge. If I hack off all leaves & stalks except maybe for the smallest 3-4 in the center, is it likely to survive the move?
