When is avocado in season in Australia?
Avocado is being harvested right now, in Queensland.
Queensland and Western Australia between them cover most of the year, which is why avocado never quite feels seasonal even though each region's crop is.
Season by region
- the subtropicsApril to December
- the mediterranean south westJanuary to June
- the tropical northMarch to August
These are harvest months, not supermarket availability. Cold storage and imports stretch what is on a shelf; they do not stretch what a grower can bring to a market stall.
Where to buy avocado
Farmers markets in Queensland are the closest you get to buying it from the person who grew it.
