Recent warm, dry weather kicked up tree pollen in the Willamette Valley. The peak for tree pollen is about this time of year, with oak, cottonwood, alder, and Douglas fir are among the many trees dispersing pollen right now.

After a wet April, this year’s allergy season in the Willamette Valley seemed like it might be delayed.

While many people are getting out gardening gloves this time of year, some are reaching for the tissue box.
