Between now and May, pollen from birch, maple and oak trees, for example, are wreaking havoc on allergies, causing red and itchy eyes, runny noses and sneezing fits.
Tree pollen is expected to be the worst in the Pacific Northwest this year. For allergy sufferers living in this region, limiting the amount of time spent outside this spring may be a good idea.

The trees' pollen cones appear in April and mature in September or October. [17] The cones require fifteen months to mature, [ 18 ] and the cones fall 17 to 18 months after pollination in late January to early March from the coast to the current Bunya Mountains .
They freely expel a myriad of these pollen grains, and only a small percentage of them ends up captured by the female floral structures on wind-pollinated plants. [3] They are typically 20–60 micrometres (0.0008–0.0024 in) in diameter, although the pollen grains of Pinus species can be much larger and much less dense. [ 1 ]

Today, American bittersweet is the accepted common name of C. scandens in large part to distinguish it from an invasive relative, C. orbiculatus (Oriental bittersweet), from Asia. [2] Hybrids of C. orbiculatus and C. scandens, entirely produced from C. scandens seed and C. orbicularis pollen, showed reduced seed set and small, infertile pollen. [4]
