Here's a cool comparison.. the above picture shows trees in London in mid April 2010, completely bare, the bottom one shows trees in London, same time, the year before.. the cold winter really delayed tree growth and I don't think all the grit used helped either
The earliest I've seen them with leaves would probably be early May. They usually gain leaves very rapidly beginning (sprouting) between May 10th and May 15th and are completely green by less than a week later.
The fall is a lot more gradual, especially in the lower part of town, where some trees may have leaves until mid-November or even later.
I have to pay more attention to this stuff, but in Melbourne I know they can stay bare going into November. Most don't wait that long though. It depends on the tree.
