The Problems with Pollen from Fraxinus (Ash)- A Hayfever Concern?

Are Fraxinus (ash) trees and shrubs causing hayfever allergies for you or someone you know? Are you wondering whether you can plant an ash tree without dealing with all of the pollen that’s usually associated with these magnificent exotic trees?

Fraxinus, or ash trees, are often admired for their striking appearance with their abundant soft yellow flowers, robust stature and vibrant leaves. However, they come with a downside: they’re wind-pollinated, rather than pollinated by insects, and this means that they can cause issues for people sensitive to pollen. For those who endure symptoms such as itchy eyes and a constant sniffle during pollen season, having Fraxinus in the garden could set off allergies or make these issues worse.

Luckily, there’s a fantastic alternative that lets you enjoy the beauty of ash trees without the pollen problems. Meet Safe Haven™ Fraxinus griffithii ‘FRAX01’ PBR Intended, a non-invasive, seedless variety that’s perfect for allergy-conscious gardens. Even though it displays abundant long-flowering blooms, it doesn’t seem to produce enough pollen to cause issues for people with allergies.
