Most people think allergies only come from flowers; however, most of us are actually suffering from tree pollen. Tree’s are one large plants that will often have flowers on them. Tree’s can produce 100x of pollen than a flower. Tree’s start building up pollen long before April & May. In the winter months trees are building up pollen, the milder the winter, the more pollen a tree will be able to build up. When the weather gets warmer trees will then release its pollen in a devastating wave of pollen.
