Is This Rhubarb?

[melilley]

We have these plants growing in our backyard and I think it may be rhubarb. Does it look like rhubarb?

Looks like it to me.

Looks like wild rhubarb. The pointier leaves and thinner stalks suggest wild to me, anyway.

If the underside of the leaves is fuzzy, don't eat it.

Good to know!
We have lived here for 5 years and always pull it or ignore it.. I know the people who lived here before us planted some stuff, but not sure what.

Rhubarb leaves are extremely poisonous. Do some web searching or take the leaf/stalk to a garden store.

It is not rhubarb, it is burdock. Common weed, very bitter.

Burdock's edible though..can actually be used like chicory as a coffee sub.
