Default autumn flowering cherry and mulberry

In Balmain (Sydney) I have today seen a cherry flowering. Also a
mulberry flowering.

These trees have never before flowered in the autumn. Is this
happening elsewhere in previously drought affected areas?

Yes my magnolia has just had a false spring for the same reason.

On his radio program, Graham Ross (of Ground Force infamy) said that
this week he saw in Sydney a row of pear trees all in full bloom. He said
this is 6 months out of season, and that the trees haven't had a chance to
store up much energy and by flowering at this time and setting fruit, many
of them may die.

This sounded pessimistic, but I guess he knows what he is talking about.
Or else I misunderstood what he was saying.

Yes, I guess the trees are a bit more adaptable than that! But it will
be interesting to see what happens in spring.
