If you’re a wholesale buyer, importer or food distributor sourcing Australian fresh fruit, spring is your planning window – not just your buying window. Production ramps up across multiple fruit categories from September onwards, and the buyers who lock in supply conversations early are consistently the ones who get access to the best product.
Here’s what’s coming into season across Australia from September through November, and what you need to know about timing your sourcing decisions.
What fruits are in season in spring in Australia?
Australia’s spring runs from September through November. Warmer temperatures and longer days accelerate growth across multiple fruit categories, and wholesale supply builds progressively through the quarter.
Strawberries are typically among the first spring arrivals, with Queensland production leading from around September. Volume builds through October into domestic retail and foodservice channels.
Cherries begin appearing in late October and into November, primarily from Victoria and New South Wales. The cherry season is short (usually six to eight weeks) which makes early sourcing conversations particularly important for buyers who need reliable volume.
Stone fruits, including peaches, nectarines and apricots, start their season from November in warmer growing regions. Production builds significantly through December and January, with Victoria and New South Wales the key states.
Mangoes from the Northern Territory begin arriving in spring, with the season typically running from September through to March.
Table grapes come into season from January in Victoria, with the main Australian season running through to July depending on variety. Lazzara Fruits grows 18 varieties across white, red and black categories, with harvest windows staggered from January all the way through to mid-year.
Australian table grapes: the spring and summer highlight
Among Australia’s spring and summer fruits, table grapes are one of the most commercially significant for wholesale and export buyers, and one of the most variety-diverse.
The Australian table grape season stagger is what makes them particularly valuable for buyers. Rather than a single short peak, different varieties come to harvest at different points from January through to July. White, red and black varieties each follow their own timing, meaning buyers can access fresh Australian table grapes across an extended six-month window with consistent supply.
Lazzara Fruits is a family-owned table grape farm in Robinvale, Victoria, growing 18 varieties across white, red and black categories. We supply wholesale buyers, importers, food distributors and export markets with premium Australian-grown table grapes throughout the full season.
Our range includes Sweet Sapphire™, Crimson, Red Globe, Sweet Globe™, Menindee, Ivory™, Thompson, Autumn King and more – giving buyers access to a diverse selection of colours, flavours and pack presentations from a single trusted Australian source.
Why spring is the right time to start the sourcing conversation
The Australian table grape season opens from January, but the most important conversations happen well before the first harvest.
Growers finalise variety volumes and availability in the months leading into season. Buyers who engage early have more flexibility on variety selection, pricing, and logistics planning. Buyers who wait until fruit is already available are often competing for limited supply or taking what’s left.
If you’re planning to source Australian table grapes for the coming season (whether for domestic wholesale or international export) now is the time to open that conversation.
