Rhubarb leaves are poisonous to humans too, so don't spray onto something you are going to eat.

Try a seed selling company on the internet. i doubt any nursery would sell seedlings - not a common plant.

Is it little too late now to only have a few developing fruit? I've read that fruit takes 60 days to mature on the plant.

Hi. Can anyone help. I live in the Redlands and can grow cape gooseberries beautifully but Pest love them. I get about three different types of insects and a grub. Incesticide doesn’t help much, tried clay dust, all sorts... I have heard about boiled up ruhbarb leaves works against bugs. Can anyone help please. Dorothy
