That's how big my comfrys get after 3 years of being left alone. Two years if i give them some half bucket of manure when i plant them out. I got a lot and use it as a border to keep grass from invading and i use 3 year old roots to make balms with together with rosemary, eucalyptus, mint, arnika, camomille, sage, ginger . It's a banger. Lately my friend hurt his wrist after overdoing rendering. We thought we'd lost him, he warned last time he injured himself like this it took 3 weeks of rest. We'd travelled a days drive to do a week of work, i gave him the balm, he put megadoses of it on and was back at it the day after. Finished the job. It's a miracle cure.
Best thing ever if you dig them up,i only use the big root to supply family and friends and more and more acquaintances they will leave roots in the soil and pop back up in a ring. 5 easily. Ready to transplant in autumn. I dropped some pieces of root on the path and they peek through the grass. Avoid self seeding ones and smaller runner ones and you're laughing the rest of your life.
