As we look ahead to another promising year, there’s one variety that continues to stand out in our cabbage portfolio, Cali. Reliable, flexible, and high‑performing, Cali has earned the confidence of growers across early spring, summer, and autumn production windows.

Cali is built for performance. With 80 growing days from transplanting to harvest, it offers growers the advantage of an early variety without compromising quality. Its uniformity in head size, maturity, and shape allows for smooth harvest planning and predictable market presentation, key benefits for the fresh market.

Producing 3–5 lb round, green, attractive heads, Cali combines visual appeal with internal strength. The heads are well covered, offering natural protection in the field, and the compact core with excellent internal fill boosts pack-out efficiency. With a transplant density recommendation of 30,000+/acre, Cali drives strong yield potential while maintaining consistency across the field.

Its high density and uniform head structure make it especially suitable for the fresh market, where appearance and reliability matter most. And with HR to FoC, Cali continues to deliver resilience in environments where Fusarium poses challenges.

We take pride in varieties that bring value to our growers, and Cali does exactly that. It’s a variety that works when you need it to, performs across seasons, and supports strong market quality.
Here’s to a prosperous year ahead for Cali—may it continue to deliver the dependable performance our growers expect and deserve.
