Seasonal fruit calendar in Winter in Tenerife.
The Winter Climate of Tenerife.
Winter in Tenerife is a unique and fascinating period, especially from the perspective of agriculture and fruit harvesting. Unlike the colder and harsher seasons in other regions, winter on the Canary Island is mild and welcoming, offering optimal conditions for growing a variety of organic fruits and products.
The volcanic richness of the soil, combined with the subtropical climate of Tenerife, allows farmers to continue their planting and harvesting work throughout the year. However, it is in winter when some crops reach their peak, providing a unique opportunity for organic and sustainable agriculture.
During these months, tropical and subtropical fruits, such as Avocados, guavas, and mangoes continue to flourish thanks to moderate temperatures that rarely fall below 15°C, even at night. This not only ensures constant production but also keeps crops free of pests that often affect other colder regions. Furthermore, citrus fruits, such as oranges and lemons, are at their best, filling the markets with their unmatched freshness and flavor.
