💡Temperature: Lettuce prefers cooler temperatures (60-70°F), and if placed in higher temperatures, it will turn bitter, bolt, and flower early. Red Oak Leaf is a heat tolerant variety, but will turn a deeper burgundy color in cooler temperatures.
✂️ Pruning: Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod.
🔎 Plant Health: Aphids and whiteflies are common pests, but you can use our prevention and treatment tricks to keep pests at bay!
🥬 Harvest: You can harvest baby greens as early as 28 days. For ongoing harvest, snip the outer leaves just above the base of the plant once they reach 4 inches tall to let the inner leaves continue to grow. Don’t cut more than 1/3 of the plant if you want it to keep growing. To harvest the full head, wait until it reaches maturity, then harvest from the base.
Lettuce is thought to have originated in the Middle East, with the earliest depictions of it appearing in Egypt around 2700 BC. Ancient Egyptians bred lettuce plants to be less bitter than their wild counterparts, and used oil from wild lettuces for a variety of applications, including mummification.
This variety features oak-shaped leaves in a red-burgundy color that form beautiful rosettes. In addition to its attractive foliage, Red Oak Leaf Lettuce has an exceptionally sweet, buttery flavor that you will love. Red Oak Leaf lettuce contains vitamins A, C, and K, plus calcium, iron, and health-boosting anthocyanins.
Enjoy this lettuce in salads, on sandwiches and burgers, with tacos, as a wrap, or even as a bed for meats and fish.
