When is stone fruit in season in Australia?
No Australian state is harvesting stone fruit in September.
Peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums, which move through in roughly that order across summer rather than all at once.
Season by region
- the temperate south eastNovember to March
- the mediterranean south westNovember to February
- the subtropicsNovember to February
- the cool southJanuary to March
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 stone fruit
Out of season locally, so a farmers market will not have it. Worth checking what is in season instead.
