Iceberg Lettuce Mascherano

Firmino MASCHERANO

Firmino Mascherano is a large iceberg lettuce suited for summer production. It forms well-shaped heads and demonstrates strong resistance to both internal tipburn and bolting. This variety matures slower than other summer lettuces, making it ideal for heavier soils where faster-growing types might produce smaller, looser heads.
