Harvard and Smithsonian studies concur on earlier flowering in Boston and Washington, D.C. The Northeast climate center notes winter warming of nearly 3 to 4.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the last century, with faster gains recently.

Cornell and Wisconsin researchers report lilacs in the Northeast bloom about four days earlier than four decades ago, with apples and grapes also blooming six to eight days sooner. The study warns earlier springs may favor invasives and disrupt plant pollinator and pest interactions, possibly threatening some species while extending growing seasons in the region.
