About Pollen in Charlotte

Charlotte’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Oak and Hickory pollen; Oak (Quercus) prolific in Freedom Park and Myers Park; Hickory (Carya) widespread in Reedy Creek Nature Preserve. Maple (Acer) contributes significantly from Latta Nature Preserve. Summer (June-August) has high Grass (Poaceae) pollen levels, originating from Little Sugar Creek Greenway and Catawba River banks. Autumn (August-October) has high Ragweed (Ambrosia) counts from open fields.

The humid subtropical climate traps pollen near the ground; the dense tree canopy in Dilworth creates localized hotspots. Autumn and winter have Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from damp suburban leaf litter near the U.S. National Whitewater Center.
