Variety description

10 August 2026

The Emerald Oak variety belongs to oakleaf lettuces. The plant forms tender, juicy leaves with a buttery texture and characteristic color. The variety possesses resistance to leaf tipburn.

The name Emerald is often used as a descriptive epithet to denote the bright green shade of lettuce, which creates confusion in nomenclature. There is no official data on the existence of a separate lettuce variety named Emerald in Syngenta breeding.
