None up here in northwestern Minnesota....grass is brown but snow is now gone. Usually buds to leaf phase is quite quick and happens very rapidly between end of April and Mother's Day

In Southern France, it's the extreme opposite. The first leaves begin to appear in late february. In mars, most of trees flowering and now, all the trees (including beech and oak) have they summer foliage. But it's mostly du to a very warm winter followed by a warm spring. In average conditions, you can see the first leaves in mid march and april is the month where everything flowering. But the summers are dry and Toulouse have a grassland climate. Global precipitation is too low to grow a forest.

Toulouse is comfortably above the different thresholds for B climates. Only one month (July) verifies the P < 2T inequation, and only slightly so. When land isn't farmed, it is occupied by forests:

This inequation don't match because it's don't take sunshine who reach 2000 hours in Toulouse. The annual moisture index (my formula) reach -9 classed it as subxéric. The forest areas are situated in 200-250 meters compared to 150 meters in Downtown Toulouse, my index probably reach 0 in this forest. That more, we have fertile loam soils conditions who help trees to support drought. So that just enough for forest and I notified similar conditions in Ille de France. Lot of dewpoint days, uniform precipitation and fertile soils explain that forest can grow to my mind. Beech tree can't grow here altrough they are very commun in Brittany and formed pure forests like this:
