Rhubarb Leave problem

9 years ago

I went outside and found a couple of my leaves on my rhubarb plant turning yellow with these black spots on them and the leaves look like they were dying. I found the leaves like this when I got home tonight. Ill take more photos when its light outside again. Please help.
Thanks

Well, rhubarb is way far out of it's comfort zone in FL - it's home territory is Siberia. I presume this is a plant you bought and put out in the springtime?

Can still be grown in Florida. It needs afternoon shade and loads of water. Try those and see if it helps!

Yeah I planted it in spring time, it has been getting plenty of water since it rains daily here, I'll try and get it more shade, you don't think it's a disease?

Plants that are way out of climate die from diseases. Check the florida forum, all these things have been discussed there.
