This month marks the start of the festive frenzy. Leafy clementines are a classic for Christmas. European citrus is now building momentum with bergamots, cedro, leafy lemons and rarer lines such as Buddha's hand.

UK apples now include Cox (pictured), Gala, Braeburn, Jazz and russets. Conference and Comice pears also available this month.

It's a good month for European kiwi - green, red and yellow. Other fruits in season are pomegranates, mangoes and cranberries.

Here are Kaki fruit - still a good call.

Figs have now moved to black from Bursa - an area near Istanbul.

Squashes are abundant - in every shape, colour and size imaginable.

Check out this whopper on Buyers' Walk.

Now that the weather is cooling, brassicas are deepening in colour. These coloured cauliflowers, grown by Bones in Kent, are truly gorgeous.

Other brassicas include Brussels sprouts and tops, cabbages of all kinds, spring greens, Cavolo Nero, kales and kalettes.
This is prime time for new-season roots. This includes beetroots, carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, radishes and Piccolo parsnips. Below is some top-class leafy celeriac.

Rainbow chard is looking good this month.

Radicchios from Italy start in November. They are not all here yet. Tardivo and Castelfranco are available; pink and grumolo yet to come.

Can you name the Italian product below?

Right - they are Carosello cucumbers, which are having a moment right now in some fashionable restaurants.
Nuts include chestnuts and walnuts. For wild mushrooms, expect chanterelle, trompette and girolle.
