I live in Taree, New South Wales. It is quite hot during Summer and reasonably cold in Winter. When would be the best time for me to plant Rhubarb. Thanking you.

Rhubarb crowns are usually only available during winter - which more or less answers the question! I'm in Melbourne and last year was our coldest winter on record - I planted several newly purchased rhubarb crowns and they all did fine.

You can put the crown of rhubarb in anytime, make sure it's in the shade. I am in the Taree district and mine grows well. Mine loves dynamic lifter, and try not to pick too much off the first year.
