Comfrey is a dynamic accumulator meaning that it mines and collects a number of nutrients that other plants can’t get to. Comfrey does this with a very long tap root by mining nutrients from very deep down that are out of reach for other plants. The nutrients are then brought up to the top and stored in the leaves. The leaves are used as fertilizer for other plants and is a high source of nitrogen and potassium. The potassium is beneficial to any flowering and fruit bearing tree. Shown in this photograph I have a comfrey plant in the ground next to an apple tree in my back yard.
Running comfrey has viable seeds that the birds spread as well as runners that pop up many feet away from the original plant. This variety is good as a ground cover and for erosion control. This variety is not recommended in a garden unless you have some control mechanisms in place to control the spread.
