…for this stuff to fall from the trees.
I’m not exactly sure what type of tree it comes from (oak, maybe?) It could be used for ivy, or underbrush. It generally gathers in clumps along the curbs or edges of the grass. I think it’s a few weeks early this year because of the mild winter.

Have to look, my cars are always covered with it. Penalty for living in an area where they maintain tree-lined streets. Much nicer in the heat of summer though as the sidewalks and houses are nicely shaded. Whatever tree species it’s from, there are a lot of them right out front.

Yup. Just what every allergy sufferer needs.
There are a couple of ?? trees (not native to the dessicated desert) up the street - and right now the pavement under them looks as if somebody went berserk with a yellow rattle can. My wife hates them - but they’re not mine so I can’t replace them with cacti…
I wonder if anyone has seriously modeled spring pollen season on their layouts? Anyone know of a source for little people with handkerchiefs…

It’s from an Oak tree. I have a large one in my backyard and it covers my deck and yard with that stuff. That’s two weeks out of the year I can’t breath!
Not to say that dust or large particles of pollen can’t cause respiratory distress – I have to wear a dust mask when sanding anything. But the stuff that causes hay fever or allergies is microscopic.
Fortunately, we’re a couple of weeks away yet, although the black flies should be out any day now.
