I have five crowns of Red Champage I planted last year. Didn't harvest last year but this year....whoaaa....we will be having rhubarb crumble icecream in the freezer and rhubarb bricoche pudding in our tummies. Oh and I have rhubarb preserved in vanilla vodka in the Cave. Enjoy Mojo.

Once they're "rampant" as long as you leave at least 25% of the stalks on, it'll be fine.
