I have dug up my rhubarb plant and want to store it over winter

Question

What do I wrap it in? Do I remove all the stakes before storage? I shall replant it in the SPRING in a new location. Thank you.

Answer 1

I take it you're in a spot where there are little or no freezing temperatures in the winter. You can dig the rhubarb, wrap it in damp unmilled sphagnum, and put it in a pot covered with soil, then freeze it for 6 weeks.
