January 24, 20215 yr Has anyone here in Thailand tried to grow rhubarb? We are in the early stages of growing from seed and so the plants are looking good.

January 24, 20215 yr The Royal Projects in Doi Inthanon have grow rhubarb but it's pretty feeble being mainly green and stalks diminutive. There's a RP shop in Chiang Mai.
January 24, 20215 yr Love at First Bite in Chiang Mai sell rhubarb pies that includes redcurrants or similar. Pretty good with a healthy scoop of vanilla ice cream.
January 24, 20215 yr I always have several bin tubs of Rhubarb stocked in the cupboard. Lovely with custard. This is the first year I am without any as my visitors from UK have not been able to get here due to the virus situation.

January 25, 20215 yr I used to love rhubarb & custard as a kid, my mum made it often. Haven't had it for years.
January 25, 20215 yr A lot of rhubarb in England is grown in big sheds after the 2nd year of planting outside so that it can be grown inside, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwPWbvzRx50
January 25, 20215 yr I love Rhubarb, especially Rhubarb and Ginger jam, have tried growing it from seeds, and corms brought from UK, did not grow just died, Royal Project grows some, some is imported from Oz, but very expensive. Found some Rhubarb Jam in Big C, own brand 90 Thb, so bought what they had, probably never see it here again, regards Worgeordie

January 25, 20215 yr Popular Post Used to be difficult to STOP it growing back home in Scotland. Rhubarb crumbles, pies, rhubarb and custard, jam, all aroi but not the same as my childhood memory of a fresh cut stalk of rhubarb and a bag of sugar to dip it in. Amazingly I still have all my own teeth.
January 25, 20215 yr I've never sampled but heres an option for ready made pies. Ships from Pattaya: https://britishop.com/product/rhubarb/

We are not so far away from you so there seems to be no problem with the climate in this region. Not cool and wet for long enough anywhere south of northern Thailand. That's why the aforementioned Royal Farm shops have big seasonal variations on size and availability. I haven't seen any so far this year. The best rhubarb regionally is in northern Vietnam and southern China where's there's a miserable climate like Dundee.

We have this stuff called water on tap 24/7. We even give it to the many plants and trees we grow and they seem to like it.
