Spring fruit season calendar in Tenerife.
The Spring Climate of Tenerife
Spring in Tenerife is a season of pleasant and mild weather, ideal for growing a wide variety of fruits. From March to May, temperatures typically range between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. This temperature range is perfect for our plants to awaken from their winter dormancy and begin a new life cycle with vigor and health.
The generous spring sunshine, which lasts for 7 to 8 hours a day, provides the light necessary for photosynthesis, vital for the growth and ripening of our fruit. Furthermore, rainfall is moderate during this season; this is crucial, as a proper balance between sunny days and precipitation ensures that our fruit develops not only an optimal size, but also a flavor and texture that only organic farming can guarantee.
At Sanus Market , during spring, we celebrate the abundance of products such as avocados, which reach their peak, papayas packed with vitamins, and strawberries, which become especially sweet and juicy under the warm island sun.
This symphony of growth not only benefits the quality of our products, but also reinforces our commitment to sustainability and supporting local farmers. Every fruit we offer at Sanus Market carries with it the essence of Tenerife's springtime climate: pure, fresh, and full of life.

The Sun, the Earth and the Rain: How Spring in Tenerife Nourishes Our Crops
As the days lengthen, the sun's presence becomes more dominant and vital. This results in sweeter fruits and more robust vegetables. Strawberries, for example, acquire a vibrant red color and an intensely sweet flavor, becoming the stars of the season.
During the spring, this land is revitalized through the ongoing work of our farmers, who enrich it with organic compost and natural methods that maintain its structure and nutrients. This preparation ensures that the roots of our plants can effectively absorb everything necessary for healthy and vigorous growth.
