if you've ever wondered why allergies are worse in the city & developed suburban areas
The pollen count can be lowered if people plant more female plants and fewer male plants, says horticulturist Tom Ogren. He says male plants have been popular because they don't produce messy fruit or seed pods -- but they are responsible for most of the pollen in the air
It seems that people only see the "inconvenience" of trees, and neglect to take note of the many vital benefits of trees... So this isn't really surprising. It is, however, maddening, if you're a city dweller with allergies.
