When is fig in season in Australia?
No Australian state is harvesting fig in September.
Figs do not travel or keep, which is why they are reliably better at a market than in a supermarket and why the season feels shorter than it is.
Season by region
- the temperate south eastFebruary to May
- the mediterranean south westJanuary to April
- the subtropicsFebruary to April
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 fig
Out of season locally, so a farmers market will not have it. Worth checking what is in season instead.
