    Is February/March a suitable time for moving a rheubob (sorry I can't spell it but you can guess what I mean)

      I think I would move it as soon as possible.
      It's probably already starting to grow.

        I moved mine a few weeks ago so yes get on with shifting it. The roots are quite brittle but don't fret overly if the break

                  I tried typing it correctly but failed :heehee:

                  'Riwbob' will do for me, that's how it's pronounced in these parts :smile:.
