At iGift Hampers, we pride ourselves on delivering the freshest and most flavourful fruit hampers across Australia. That means choosing seasonal fruit gifts that’s at its peak — ripe, juicy, and full of natural goodness. August is a wonderful time of year for citrus lovers, crisp apples, and comforting pears.

If you're wondering what fruit is in season in August, here’s your guide to what's fresh and fabulous this month.

Citrus Fruits Are at Their Peak

August is prime time for citrus fruit in Australia. Expect juicy, tangy, and sweet flavours that brighten up any fruit basket or gift hamper.

• Oranges – Navel and Valencia varieties are sweet, seedless, and packed with vitamin C.
• Mandarins – Easy to peel and perfectly snackable, mandarins are a family favourite.
• Lemons & Limes – Great for cooking, juicing, or adding a zesty note to your drinks and desserts.
• Grapefruit – Slightly tart and refreshing, grapefruit is in peak condition right now.

Crisp Winter Pears

Pears are another highlight in August, with their juicy texture and natural sweetness.

• Beurré Bosc Pears – Recognisable by their russet skin and firm texture, ideal for poaching or eating fresh.
• Packham Pears – Soft and sweet when ripe, perfect for fruit hampers and desserts.

Apples Galore

Winter means apple season continues strong into August.

• Pink Lady Apples – Crisp, sweet, and tart with a beautiful blush colour.
• Granny Smith Apples – A tangy green apple that’s great for baking and snacking.
• Fuji & Gala Apples – Juicy, crunchy, and delicious straight from the tree.

Kiwifruit

Kiwifruit is also in season — a small fruit that packs a big punch in flavour and nutrition.

• Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants
• Great for adding a tropical touch to your fruit gifts

Bananas – Available Year-Round

Although bananas are not strictly seasonal in August, they’re a staple in our fruit hampers due to their popularity and year-round availability in Queensland.

Other Fruits to Enjoy

• Avocados – Creamy, nutrient-rich, and perfect for salads or spreading on toast.
• Rhubarb – Technically a vegetable, but used like fruit in desserts — ideal for winter crumbles.
• Persimmons (late season) – If you’re lucky, you might catch the tail-end of persimmon season in early August.

Why Seasonal Fruit Matters

At iGift Hampers, we believe that seasonal fruit tastes better, lasts longer, and is more sustainable. By selecting what’s naturally available and thriving, we can deliver hampers that not only look beautiful but also offer maximum freshness and flavour.

Our fruit hampers are updated regularly to reflect what’s in season, so when you order from us in August, you're getting the very best of winter produce.
