About Pollen in Ipswich

Ipswich experiences peak tree pollen March-May, primarily Birch and Oak from Christchurch Park and surrounding suburban woodlands; Grass pollen is dominant June-July, originating from River Orwell and Gipping Valley meadows, extending to Chantry Park.

Ipswich’s urban topography and River Orwell valley can trap pollen, elevating local concentrations; Mould spores proliferate September-November, exacerbated by damp leaf litter in Holywells Park and decomposing vegetation along the Gipping.

The pollen count in Ipswich today is moderate, driven mainly by Perennial Ryegrass.
