Spring Pollen and Tree Health: What You Should Know

Post Copy

Spring in Frederick County means pollen, and while you're dealing with allergies, your trees are working overtime producing it. Heavy pollen years can stress some trees, especially if they're already dealing with other health issues. The good news: understanding pollen stress helps you support your trees through the season.

Some trees are heavy pollen producers (oaks, maples, birches), while others contribute less. If you're looking to reduce pollen on your property, careful tree selection and pruning can help. If your trees look stressed during high pollen season, a professional assessment identifies whether it's pollen stress or something more serious.
