When it’s grown:
Apples are grown all over Australia. Apples are grown on trees in the colder climate regions of most states of Australia. The fruits are harvested between February and June every year, before the trees go dormant for winter.

How to pick:
Apples should be bright and crunchy, with a tight skin and juicy flesh.
If you’re eating them as is, try a sweeter apple like Pink Lady or a tangy sweet flavour Jazz. If you’re cooking them or using them in a sauce, try a Royal Gala or Granny Smith.

How to store:
Store your apples in the fridge, this will keep them crisp and fresh for longer.
Apples should be stored away from ethylene-sensitive fruits and vegetables like leafy greens.
