Comparative analysis of accumulated cold hours, sums of heat, and days per year for key phenological events and climate variables, during 18 consecutive years in New Belgrade, confirmed the influence of air temperature before and during phenophases, as well as of precipitation. An earlier start and a later end of the vegetation period were recorded. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of phenological responses given that Japanese quince fruits are commertial goods. The results are a useful platform for understanding possible changes in the structure of urban coenoses and interspecies relations aimed to define the principles of sustainable design that supports the aesthetics of the landscape, the preservation of the environment and habitats for birds and animals. The results will contribute to the development of adaptation measures for this fruit-growing species in conditions of climate change. Also, through plasticity in phenological responses to drought and high temperatures, the adaptability of Japanese quince at the individual level was confirmed, which affects the selection and preservation of urban ecosystem services.
