Gunnera manicata is not related to rhubarb. Soo that would not be a good pie. :D

Gunnera manicata does not like hot and dry climates. It grows the best in humid climates with coolish-warm but not hot temperatures. It likes moist rich soil.

Gunnera manicata is a bog plant. It grows very well here in Adelaide's hot dry summer climate if grown in a bog. It isn't grown much here due to the demand of moisture.
