Here comes Cawood — a deep-red rhubarb with thick stalks and rugged character. It may be a bit less vigorous than MacDonald, but what it lacks in speed it makes up for in colour and size.
Quick highlights:
• Hardiness: Cold-tolerant and thrives in northern gardens.
• Productivity: Medium-high yields.
• Stalk size: Thick, showy stalks with deeper red tone.
• Texture: Tender yet substantial.
With a stout growth habit, Cawood Delight shines when you want rhubarb that looks as good as it eats. From Northern climates especially, its red stalks make a statement in pies, crisps, and more. It may demand a little more sun or protection in really hot areas, but most gardeners find it well worth it.
