Dividing Rhubarb

Brigitte · 2019-01-15T23:29:04+00:00

Sorry, I can not find any info on dividing rhubarb? (someone will tell me I didn't look hard enough!!) I have a wonderful rhubarb plant (Pink Champagne), Is extremely vigorous, and last year was sending up new growth up until beginning of October. It is now mid January, and has new growth about 8" long, (Not forced) is it too late to divide it now? Should this task normally be done before Christmas? Thanks for any answers.....
