Are the boulevard maples blooming at all? The ones in front of our house are, I think, either Norway or Sugar Maples and I see some little buds but nothing that looks like flowers.

Do you know if your pollen nemesis is Juniper or Poplar? I'm pretty sure that I am deeply allergic to Juniper because of my experience in a monoculture community in Arizona. But for all I know I could be allergic to poplar too.
