TYPE: GREEN OAKLEAF
 
Kristine is an Oakleaf type of lettuce, light green in color, and grows beautifully round and upright. This Oakleaf lettuce is a typical and basic ingredient to a proper Caesar's Salad.
 
Green Oak Leaf lettuce is medium to large in size, growing in an elongated, rosette shape, and is narrow and small at the base fanning out to a wide, curly, loose top. The deeply lobed leaves connect to a central base, branch out in all directions, and are tender, smooth, and broad with many curls and frills.
 
The edges of the leaves are bright green which fades into a white or pale green at the center where a juicy, crunchy stalk resides. 
 
This green Oak Leaf lettuce is firm and crisp and has a fresh sweet smell when the stalk is scratched. The leaves have a mild, sweet, and nutty flavor.
 
Kristine RZ is strong against bolting and equally strong against tip burns.
