Climate Change Causing Cherry Blossoms to Bloom Early

Climate change is causing cherry trees to bloom earlier than they used to. This puts the delicate flowers at risk - and has knock-on effects down the ecosystem.

The effect that climate change has on cherries through an increased likeliness for cold snaps is most severe for edible cherries. A loss in blossoms equals a loss of possible cherry fruits. Orchard farmers are becoming ever more worried about potential crop failures.
