Re: Galvanized Fire Ring for Rhubarb Raised Beds?
All of the rhubarb plants are up already, about three weeks ahead of schedule. They came up once already, and got froze back when the nighttime temps went down into the teens. Now, they have re-sprouted, and in a couple days the temps are supposed to drop down into the low-20's again. So, I'm going to put plastic buckets over them overnight in hopes of keeping them from freezing again.

You asked this question back last May, and now I think the answer is "yes they will". Three of the Rhubarb plants will have to be dug and divided this year since they have spread out and have way too many crowns in each bed. Each bed is 7 sq ft of MM that is 1' deep, and it is a mass of roots and multiple crowns. The other three Rhubarb fire rings are only in their 2nd year, so they have a few years to go.
This Victoria Rhubarb plant has expanded to 12 crowns, and must be divided this fall to get it back down to one crown.

This Victoria Rhubarb plant has 8 crowns, and will be divided this fall as well.
