Details
Vespucci RZ is a multi-leaf oakleaf type lettuce. It features fine, lobed, soft leaves. Consumers will be attracted to shiny green, wonderfully textured oak leaves - perfect for a salad mix. Growers will enjoy its uniformity and favourable, upright plant habit.
Vespucci RZ is very suitable for mechanical harvest. It also boasts the most up-to-date downy mildew resistances.
Vespucci RZ is a Salanova® variety. Salanova® lettuce separates into multiple evenly proportioned, ready-to-eat, leaves with one cut at the base. A Salanova lettuce has up to three times more leaves than traditional lettuce, offering tremendous advantages for everyone in the vegetable chain, including processors, retailers, and ultimately consumers.
This fantastic oakleaf also comes with Knox™. A naturally occurring trait, discovered through our breeding program - Knox™ extends the shelf life of lettuce, delaying oxidisation and delaying pinking on the cut surfaces of lettuce.
Vespucci RZ is suitable for year round production in Australia.
