Description
Lettuce Red Oak Leaf is renowned for its rich, ruby-tinged foliage and elegantly lobed leaves that resemble the silhouette of oak trees. The young leaves are a mixture of green and red that mature to a burgundy red colour.
The leaves strike a perfect balance between tender and crisp, offering a refreshing bite that elevates everything from backyard salads to gourmet dishes. Its mild, nutty flavour, and subtle sweetness, makes it a versatile favourite among home cooks and professional chefs alike. The robust leaves hold dressings without wilting, perfect for hearty salads or layered sandwiches. They also serve as striking edible garnishes, adding flair to plates.
Adaptability is one of this lettuce’s strongest suits. Thriving across Australia’s varied climates—from the cooler southern highlands to the subtropical north—it proves remarkably resilient. Even as temperatures climb, Red Oak Leaf Lettuce resists bolting, maintaining its vibrant colour and structure. The plant’s open growth habit allows for effortless picking, enabling a cut-and-come-again approach that prolongs productivity and minimises waste. It is also useful for baby leaf production.
