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.
