That's great . I've seen the Herbert brand. Do you supply Mega10 in the SI? It would be good if Bunnings in the SI would stock it.

I'm 99.9% sure I have French. "Robust" & Vigorous" are definitely not words I would use to describe my plants and there certainly is good aniseed flavour in the leaves. Cheers

Oh fgs. So now you are the self-proclaimed expert with experience to correctly identify a plant for me. I am quite capable of doing that for myself with no experience at all. Distinguishing between French, Russian and Mexican tarragon is not rocket science.

Yep. Same here. I also was able to use photographs. How clever is that?

Settle petal. You are reading far more into my post than was actually there!

I have a Cuisine magazine from years ago that has a page "What to do with tarragon" & I've been making a salsa verde with tarragon in it, serving with chicken breast that I slice down the middle & put a sprig of tarragon in, for years. One of my fav chicken dishes. I really should check out some more recipes to use the herb in though. It grows well in my garden in Auckland.

It's really not that hard to tell the difference by sight, and if in doubt a quick rub of a leaf soon makes it clear.

Well that is stupid. The taste and flavour come from the actual plant. Surely even and 'expert' can work that out.

What's with the 'expert' stuff. It's rather infantile. Do I call you that when you regularly expound your knowledge about your particular interests? We all have subjects that we may know a little more than others, but only certain types would proclaim themselves to be an expert & I'm not one of them . OK?

Yay ,just googled the photos of French Tarragon and it is identical to my plant. I chop it up and add it to beef mince patties, always get heaps of compliments on how yummy mine are. Must copy some of these recipes and try them.
