I bought my original comfrey plants from Coe's comfrey many years ago.  He sells it as Bocking #4 and I have no reason to doubt him, but that's as close to a guarantee as I offer :)  

If anyone needs comfrey roots, I have extra for sale.  I would like $1 a root, plus shipping.  Small size Priority shipping boxes at the PO cost $8.30 and medium boxes cost $15.05.  I can fit about 15 or 20 roots in a small box, probably 50 or 60 in a medium box.  Roots are various sizes, but all large enough to grow well.  If you need some and truly can't afford them, let me know and we can work something out, up to the point I get overwhelmed.  If anyone would like some, you can send me a PM.  If this post breaks some rule I don't know about, please delete it with my apologies.

Here is a picture of a partial order I just sent out recently.  In a large box, I can send about 150 roots with a little room left over.  Shipping in a large priority box is $21.10.  For large orders like this, I add extra roots and some crowns.

Australia is very strict with what it allows to come in. I am sure it is illegal to send any live parts of plants in.
