Perhaps crown root rot? If so your plant should be discarded and start a new plant in another location in disease free soil. Rhubarb does best in a soil with lots of organic matter (composted manure) but needs to be well drained. Try planting your rhubarb in mounded soil. If the roots get too wet and stay that way too long, you will get rot -- a fungal disease.

When do you know if the rhubarb is ready to pick?
Rhubarb is ripe when the stalk is a dark red. If its still mostly green, it's not ready to be picked yet, unless you want it really sour! Actually, there are two types of rhubarb and several varieties of each type. Red rhubarb emerges with a red stalk that is completely red. It's ready to pick whenever you're ready to pick it, and a rhubarb that is constantly harvested will continue to send out new stalks until it gets too cool at night. Green rhubarb emerges green and will never turn completely red, no matter how long you wait. Some varieties will have a reddish base when the stalks get very thick. Both varieties do not get 'sweeter' as the stalks get bigger.
