Having failed to find anyone in the UK selling Bocking #4, and being keen to try it on my chickens (they say that chickens think #4 is yummy, but #14 is yukky), I am currently talking to FERA to see what I need to do to import some cuttings.

If the #4 grows as well as my #14, I will begin selling plants in the UK, if anyone is interested.

Perhaps you just need to ask Garden Organic in Coventry? They were previously called Henry Doubleday Research Association and were founded by Lawrence D Hills who cultivated all the bocking comfreys.
