There are many horticultural myths about this plant, and about "companion plants" in general.
For fruit trees and other edible crops Comfrey has some value. This means that you grow several acres of it and compost it -- for example as required by California CDFA statutes for mulch. Growing it adjacent to your fruit trees simply robs them of nitrogen.
