I checked my milkweed garden late yesterday afternoon and the first shoots of A. syriaca are pushing their way through the dead grasses and leaves. I haven't kept first date records on milkweeds but emergence by the 11th is certainly early. The fruit trees - ornamental and commercial - are 4-6 days ahead of the normal flowering schedule in this area.
