First, my apologies to my faithful blog visitors who don’t live in “Mountain Cedar Country”, which is Texas and Southern Oklahoma – I’ll return to more global interests next time. But for those of you who are suffering with “cedar fever”, I wanted to provide you with some information to help you get through the season.
First, if you’re wondering how one pollen could be causing you so much misery, the video below shows a typical release of cedar when the weather gets dry and windy. What looks like clouds of smoke from burning cedar trees is in fact clouds of pollen. Multiply that by hundreds of thousands of acres of cedar trees, and you get huge amounts of pollen in the air that spreads for hundreds of miles. Mountain cedar is truly in a class by itself in terms of the amount of pollen it produces. So, for those of you who want to cut down the cedar trees in your yard – don’t bother, it won’t make the slightest difference in your allergies!
