Rhubarb... help!
Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me work out what I should do with my Rhubarb (Victoria). The leaves look like they are being disintegrated by something... they go to black and shrivel to nothing. Possible fungal cos I can't see a pest, but I can't find it in a book. I've tried cutting everything off down to ground level, and new leaves grew, but again have the same symptom. Is the plant beyond rescue? Shall I dig it up and throw away? It's in it's 3rd year. There were no signs of this last year and at the start of this season I had a reasonable crop.... help.

The only thing I could find on the Web was crown rot. I hope that's not the case but it sound like it. See the links below for more information:
