Australian Farmers Almanac: June 2026
Winter begins - solstice, citrus abundance, bare root trees, and frost management
June 2026 Overview Early Winter
Winter is officially here. June brings us the Winter Solstice on the 21st - the shortest day of the year and one of the four major turning points in the calendar. After that, the days slowly start getting longer again, even if it doesn't feel like it for a while yet.
For Mediterranean zones, this is peak rainfall season. Your tanks should be filling up nicely. For everyone else, it's about managing frost, harvesting citrus, and planting bare root fruit trees while they're dormant.
This is prime time for bare root fruit trees. Nurseries are stocked, trees are dormant, and you've got all winter for roots to establish before spring growth. If you've been planning to add fruit trees to your property, now's the time.
