Birch pollen is the fine, powdery substance produced by birch trees during their reproductive cycle, typically in spring. It contains male gametes and is dispersed by the wind to fertilize female flowers, facilitating seed production. Birch pollen is a common allergen, causing seasonal allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, in many individuals due to its high allergenic potential. Its presence in the environment can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people, leading to symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.

What pollen is in grapes?

Grapes primarily produce pollen from the Vitis genus, which includes various species of grapevines. The pollen is typically wind-pollinated and is not a major allergen compared to other plants, such as ragweed or birch. The pollen grain itself is small and can be found in the air during the flowering season of grapevines, which usually occurs in late spring to early summer. However, most grape varieties are self-pollinating, which means they often do not require pollen from other grapevines for fertilization.
