Check out our ultimate list of spring fruits in Australia and use it as your guide to seasonal fruits for September, October and November.
On this page:
Apples
Most varieties of apple are still in season in spring. Although they are traditionally an autumn fruit the apple season in Australia is now year-round. Gala apples may disappear towards the end of spring while Granny Smiths will be widely available.
Bananas
Bananas are in season in spring as they are uniquely considered a year-round fruit. Banana production will peak right throughout spring before slightly easing off in summer.
Blood Oranges
Blood oranges are in season in spring and it’s important to grab some now because the production window is very short in Australia. They might not be on the shelves by summer so enjoy them while you can.
Grapefruit
Queensland-grown grapefruit is in season in spring. The peak of the growing season is behind us now but grapefruit will be available throughout spring. By late spring you may only see light flesh grapefruit in stores.
Hass Avocado
Aussies rejoice, the peak of the Hass avocado season is in spring. Production through the winter and early spring is primarily from Queensland while Western Australian avocadoes will be the predominant origin by the end of spring
Mangoes
Mangoes are in season in spring! Northern Territory growers will be giving us the mango fix we need before summer, with early season varieties Kensington Pride and Calypso arriving in early or mid spring.
Melons
Peak honeydew season should continue through early spring and then rockmelon season will start to pick up at the end of spring before the peak in late summer.
Nashi Pears
Nashi are in season in spring though the season is quickly ending. Get your fill now because they will probably be all gone before summer.
Oranges
Navel oranges are in season early spring and supply should keep us going until summer when supply will slow pretty quickly. Valencia oranges will be available over summer but most end up in juices.
Pineapple
Pineapples have two major seasons in Australia and the current season is underway from early spring. According to some growers the sweetest pineapples are produced for spring so enjoy them now.
Strawberries
The end of the Queensland and WA strawberry season luckily coincides with the start of the Victorian season. Early spring and late spring should be a great time for fresh strawberries.
