    I’ve seen rhubarb in the Midwest fwiw

      I think it grows in colder places and isn’t popular enough to get imported here, I can get so many fruits that are exotic elsewhere, but apples and potatoes are expensive here, and rhubarb I just never see.

        I’m biased towards tropical fruits so I think you have the better end of the deal. I actually thought rhubarb was a herb of some kind, learned that it was a fruit after your comment

          It’s a fruit?! I thought you used the stalk, which looks somewhat like celery in shape. /a Midwesterner who has eaten rhubarb pies made/grown by a great aunt

            Botanically it isn’t a fruit but it is a culinary fruit because of how it is used.
