When is strawberry in season in Australia?
Strawberry is being harvested right now, in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia.
The one that surprises people: Queensland grows strawberries through winter, so the southern summer berry and the Queensland winter berry are two different seasons rather than one long one.
