Expert Response
If it's older, it may need division. It may be so overcrowded that stalks are thinning. Because. rhubarb takes many nutrients from the soil , it's important to divide and move it to another location every few years. Another possibility is wind and heavy rain; these weather conditions can force rhubarb stalks to flatten.
