I like to think of this from a statistical perspective, where climate change makes the mean peak bloom come earlier in the year. However, there are lots of external factors that can affect peak bloom date as well. If you look at the graph in the linked article, you'd see that there's a wide variety of different peak dates even in the 1400's but that the overall trend is towards earlier in the year as we get closer to present day.
