Kallisti is Berryplasma’s first commercially released short-day variety, ideally suited
for Mediterranean-type climates. Introduced in 2021, Kallisti stands out as a main-
season performer, delivering vibrant orange-red fruit with exceptional post-harvest
longevity — a key trait for both domestic and export markets. Its very large fruit size
not only attracts attention at market but also enables faster, more cost-efficient
harvesting, improving labor productivity. One of Kallisti’s unique advantages is its
resilience to moderate salinity and low water requirements, making it a future-proof
choice for growers facing climate change challenges. Its adaptability to older growing
beds and less-than-optimal soils further enhances its value in real-world farming
conditions.
