in Adelaide (SA) and Launceston (Tas) we used greengrocer. When I went to Brisbane the same sort of person was called a fruiterer.

Contributor's comments: In Qld, these were always known as greengrocers up until about 20 years ago, when suddenly the term died out.
Contributor's comments: [Melbourne informant] Greengrocers did not just stock fruit but fresh vegetables as well, so I wonder whether it really is equivalent to the term "fruiterer" as used in Brisbane. Certainly the greengrocers of the town where I lived in the 50s and 60s as a child stocked more than the "fruiterers" of modern Melbourne. The greengrocer had a truck with shelves of fresh fruit and vegetables, and would visit the houses in the country areas once a week to enable housewives to buy fruit and vegetables direct.
Contributor's comments: I never knew them as anything as Greengrocers as a child in Sydney in the 40's. In fact I am nearly sure some of them had Greengrocer painted on their awnings but I could not swear to it. My mother and grandmother always said Greengrocer.
