Don't forget in a normal year NYC UHI influences their greening up more than the surrounding area.
Those pics were taken in the UHI, were they not? We are usually leafed out here by late April, but in the middle of London some trees were fully leafed out in mid March (I think they were hornbeam, which leafed out here about 2 weeks ago).

Yes, that's in the UHI. I think leaf-out happens faster here. It would normally fully leafed out outside the urban heat island around late April as well. You wouldn't get fully leafed out trees in March in NYC; March is often rather chilly, not much warmer than December. This March was 47°F/32°F, too cold for leaf out.
No. It's probably a bit behind (week? ) since March was well below average and early April a bit chilly too.
I think the other factor is, when there are early buds out (February) and we get a pattern like we did in March, the freezing of them prolongs the opening and growing factor, even with so many warm days now.
in other words, we would be further into the bloom season if there weren't any buds out in February. Just throwing that out there. No idea if any truth to it.
Neither... Where I was today.. Montgomery NY (red square). I have some questions though..
I noticed there was green tint to trees as I headed west into the Hudson Valley and much less red like we have here and all in southern CT
1. Do they have less Maples?
2. Is it that much warmer that they are farther ahead of here?
3. Different tree types that are faster budding and more abundant there?
4. Are their Maples just not budding yet? But why the other green buds?
Correctional Facility, medium security prison..
You can see the greenish tint in this photo. I didn't get many of it. Sorry! It was noticeable.
Can you see the green tinted trees? Sorry, couldn't pull over.
Awesome area when you have this on the left and right.
I should of stopped and got some manure. Moooooo
This is down by me this afternoon.. See the reddish tint. Do we just have more Maples down here??
Good Friday has been cold and bleak here, high 2.5c/36.5f, low -2.0c /28.4f. Somewhat ironically weather in Christmas time was warmer than it is now.
However, thankfully it has not been (at least so far) not that bad as in north-east of the country where a real winter came back: eg city of Narva there got today 8cm of snow.
Less nippy here, 17°C and sunny. Maples and birches are completely green now (that's a bamboo on the left). Didn't know there was a young maple there, nobody planted it at least. Nor the bamboos.
Not leafed out tree. Alder? Dunno.
Wisteria
Cherry
Tegenaria duellica (?)
There's a whole lot of them. This one's got 7 legs.
That one too. Last time I saw it, it was running towards dunno's house at a brisk pace.
Wisteria! only a few more weeks and we'll get what you have
