thats where I got my first 5 root cuttings . I have increased them to a few hundred now. The ones for sale here are bocking 14, this one is sterile so cannot spread by seed , only by root cutting .  Hope that's of help ?

cheers

Russ

Lu, we've got a bed of comfrey. Bocking 14 so non-invasive. If you can wait until it's up - it's just starting to show, we'll give you some.

just offered some for free on a different thread - we've got loads. If you're near us (NE Fife), take it away from below my kitchen window! :&>

I'm near you........just over the water near Arbroath.........I wouldn't mind a little starter piece if you could spare it. I'll swap you something.......some eggs or perhaps a bit of venison?
