When does birch (Betula pendula) come into leaf?

No leaves on our one yet, although it hasn't been growing as much as usual the last few years. It looks like buds are starting to come in though. There are quite a few near me, some are covered in leaves and some are just starting to bud. The cold snaps probably don't help

Depends... I'm on the south coast, sheltered spot. Mine are in full leaf now.

I'd expect those further north to be later.

Living in Cork in a sheltered area. Four birch trees of the same age on the same street in full leaf, mine is only just budding, same with another further up the street. Have a sycamore too that's nearly in full leaf while the neighbours is still only budding. I know theyre not going to be the same every single year, just the big difference considering they are all in the same conditions and healthy is weird to me Maybe it's just me but I haven't noticed this before

Hoping mine is the same, kind of concerned at no life other than the few small buds. It'll be a pain to get it replaced if it has died
