Whilst categorised as a fruit it is really a vegetable because the stems of Rhubarb are eaten rather than the fruit. Rhubarb originates from Siberia, and is a very hardy, frost resistant plant - in fact it needs a period of frost in the winter to produce the best stalks. 

One word of warning - do not eat the leaves of rhubarb - they contain oxalic acid which is definitely poisonous to humans.

Rhubarb stalks grow in a spectrum of colors from red to green. In between colors are often called pink or speckled. A deep red petiole is the more popular among consumers, but these plants are often accompanied by poor growth and yield. Green varieties are often much more productive. Consumers also often assume the red stemmed rhubarb is sweeter than other colors but color and sweetness are not necessarily related. The Victoria variety, which is probably the greenest variety, can produce some very sweet stems.
