Gainesville Pollen Report
Gainesville sits in North Florida's rolling pine-and-oak country, where the subtropical climate keeps plants pollinating nearly year-round. Oak buries the city in late winter, Bahia grass runs from spring through fall, ragweed carries autumn, and the region's humidity keeps mold spores active in almost every month.
