My 2nd Season Rhubard Is Spindly. Help

Question

Answer 1

It appears that you are in zone 6. This is at the upper edge of where rhubarb can be comfortable. Likely, the heat of summer is getting to them.

Make sure to move them to shade, when possible. If these are in ground, you may have to install a shade cloth during the summer months.

Here are a few articles that will help:
