Sunbelt is our new warm weather romaine. Along with its strong bolting
resistance and high tolerance to tip burn, we have managed to improve
it’s tolerance to fringe burn during warm windy days in the Salinas
Valley. Sunbelt exhibits a large frame with a 12" to 14" plant height,
it is extremely non-cupping at harvest time. Sunbelt has an extremely
smooth midrib and wide leaf petiole with a straight tapered butt shape,
which makes for an impressive pack at harvest time. Sunbelt has
excellent hold-ability at past optimum maturity, which would help
processor salad trade. |
