Memphis Pollen Report
Memphis sits on the Mississippi River bluffs at the northern edge of the Deep South — and its allergy calendar runs long. Oak and hickory bury the city each spring, grasses run through long humid summers, ragweed fills the Delta's field edges every fall, and the river's humidity keeps mold active nearly year-round. It's one of the tougher allergy cities in the Mid-South.

What drives allergies in Memphis
Trees: oak, hickory, and pecan (February – May)
Oaks (Quercus) dominate Memphis's canopy — one of the largest urban forests in the South — with hickory and pecan contributing. March and April are the peak.
Grasses: Bermuda (April – September)
Bermuda grass lawns and Delta pasture grasses pollinate through the long, hot summer.
Weeds: ragweed (August – November)
Ragweed (Ambrosia) thrives along the Delta's field edges and riverbanks, with counts elevated until a late first frost.
Mold: Mississippi humidity
Memphis's muggy climate keeps Alternaria and Cladosporium active most of the year, with spikes after storms.
