Harvesting container grown Rhubarb

Question

This is the second year for my container grown Rhubarb here in North Texas. The plant grew back nicely this year however the stalks still resemble small/thin celery and they’ve never turned Red. Do I need to wait another year before expecting to be able to harvest it?

Answer 1

They should mature in their second year. You can harvest sparingly up until fall. Here is more info:
