Summer fruits list
Blueberries
Blueberry supply continues through early summer from farms across the eastern seaboard.
Cherries
Cherry season peaks in summer. NSW (Young, Orange), Victoria (Goulburn Valley) and South Australia pick through December and January, then Tasmania runs from mid-December to late February, its maritime climate producing the slowest-ripening fruit of the season. Australia is roughly self-sufficient through summer. Cherries outside this window are almost certainly imports.
Grapes
Table grape season begins in summer and runs into autumn, with Victoria's Sunraysia the major growing region.
Lychees
Lychee season runs November to February, with almost all supply from Queensland and northern New South Wales.
Mangoes
Summer is peak mango season in Australia, with Kensington Pride, Calypso and R2E2 varieties in full supply from the Northern Territory and Queensland.
Nectarines & Peaches
Nectarine and peach season peaks in January and February, with white and yellow varieties from Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.
Passionfruit
Passionfruit supply builds through summer from Queensland and New South Wales.
Pineapples
Pineapples are available year-round from Queensland, with peak supply and sweetness in summer.
Plums
Plum season runs December to March, with blood plums, sugar plums and other varieties from the southern states.
Raspberries
Raspberry and blackberry season peaks through summer, mainly from Tasmania and Victoria.
Strawberries
Strawberries remain available through summer from Victorian and Tasmanian farms, with smaller but intense fruit.
Watermelon
Watermelon peaks December to February, with Queensland and the Northern Territory producing the bulk of the crop.
Dragon Fruit
Dragon fruit (pitaya) is a summer–autumn fruit in Australia, with peak supply in early autumn. White-flesh varieties come from the Northern Territory; red-flesh from Queensland. Around 80% of dragon fruit sold here is imported, mostly from Vietnam — so labels are worth a glance. See Dragon Fruit Season for the full breakdown.
