What is this tree whose annual flowering time is two weeks
sooner than last year? I've been photographing
the same trees for two years and this year was surprised
to see one tree bloom three days ago that last year
didn't bloom until April 25-26. And the similar tree next
to it that bloomed on April 20 last year hasn't shown any indication
of
blooming yet this year. See

From this distance it looks like a flowering plum tree. I'm in SW
Michigan, and everything here is blooming about two weeks early, too.
This is an honest-to-God early spring this year.

In my area of PA, they are worried that the apple trees bloomed way too
early. We have had several nights of frost with more to come since the
trees went into bloom. Needless to say, there goes the apple harvest
and it looks like we can expect the prices of fruit to be sky high!
It's only April and we had at least two weeks of June weather which I
suspect is the culprit.

It could also be a callery pear. They can get a bit unruly at times
and are one of the earlier bloomers.

We are 2 weeks early this spring in Northern NJ, too.

My dwarf orange bloomed way early, and so did my azaleas.
Doesn't anyone realize this is due to climate change?
Stay tuned for more, as the whores in Congress keep
kissing up to our corporate rulers (who love power
and money more than they love their grandchildren).

Yup. Things are out 2+ weeks early here in the Boston area too.
(I have actually been keeping track of when the leaves come out
since 1970! This is a change from even last year.)

Cleavers are in flower, and I'm harvesting for tea. I'll be planting my
tomatoes about a month early, this week-end. The peppers will only be a
week or 2 behind them :O)
