About Pollen in Birmingham

Birmingham experiences dominant spring Birch pollen (March-May) from Sutton Park and city street trees; Oak pollen (April-May) is prevalent from Cannon Hill Park and wider urban parkland. Summer brings peak Grass pollen (May-July) from extensive Lickey Hills grasslands and River Rea floodplains.

The city’s urban heat island effect and localised bowl-like topography can intensify airborne pollen concentrations; damp canal systems and autumnal leaf litter in Birmingham Botanical Gardens and local parks elevate Mould spore levels (August-November) through decomposition.
