Strawberries are generally in season from late winter through summer, but the exact timing varies by location:
- In many U.S. states, strawberries are picked and readily available mainly from April through June.
- In southern states like Florida, the season can start as early as late February.
- In the southern U.S., strawberries start appearing in March and April.
- The middle southern states see peak harvest in May or early June.
- Northern states and colder areas usually have strawberry season in June and July.
- California, a major producer, has a long strawberry season from February through October.
- In the UK, a typical strawberry season is from late June to mid-July, though this can vary based on weather and location.
So, the strawberry season broadly ranges from late February through July depending on geographic region, with California extending it even longer and northern areas having a shorter season later in summer.
