Good Luck with THAT one. I have been looking for more than a year without any success. You can import it from the UK BUT it is horrendously expensive and the shipping costs even more so AND to make matters worse, Customs are not too keen on having foodstuffs imported.

Burdock (also Gobo (Japanese Burdock)) 08 Feb, Astrid (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
You don't specify your city, but have a look at the Mountain Herb Estate web site: www.herbgarden.co.za. They are outside Pretoria, very helpful, and could probably courier for you if necessary. They do sell Burdock, but I think it's the Articum Lappa variety. If you are looking for a different one they might be able to source it for you or point you in the right direction.
