"Late planting of winter strawberry plants meant that earlier volumes were lower"
A dry spring allowed the winter strawberry season in south-east Queensland to extended until November.

The above average temperatures seen in late winter and early spring further ensured that the summer strawberry harvest started earlier than usual.
