Queensland Lettuce

Often lettuce could be a valuable cash crop near cities where there is a demand for western-style salads. But the tendency of lettuce to bolt (send up a seed stalk) in hot weather usually limits use where the weather is hot all year. The 'Queensland' variety is beautiful and remarkably resistant to bolting. We have had good reports from our network on this variety. Farm Manager Danny Blank says, "I don't think we have a lettuce that rivals this one in terms of heat tolerance and slowness to bolt." AZ 61.
