sjbrownderby Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mops59 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Needs lots of water. Best to grow them at the water side. My knowledge of rhubarb in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahseer Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahseer Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak2002003 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSF Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I used to love rhubarb & custard as a kid, my mum made it often. Haven't had it for years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo1968 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Saltire Posted January 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2021 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Wet'' is not a problem for us. 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. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
