Springfield Pollen Report
Springfield sits on the edge of the Ozarks, where hardwood forest meets open pasture — and the allergy calendar reflects both. Oak and hickory cover the hills in spring pollen, fescue pastures and Bermuda lawns run through a long summer, and ragweed is heavy from late summer to frost. Humid Ozark air keeps mold in the mix.

What drives allergies in Springfield
Trees: oak and hickory (March – May)
The Ozarks' oak-hickory forest is Springfield's dominant spring pollen source, with elm and cedar starting the season as early as late February.
Grasses: fescue and Bermuda (April – September)
Southwest Missouri's fescue pastures are famous — and a major grass-pollen source. Bermuda adds to a long season.
Weeds: ragweed (August – frost)
Ragweed (Ambrosia) fills field edges, pastures, and roadsides across the Ozarks, with counts elevated until a hard frost.
Mold: humid and storm-fed
Frequent thunderstorms and humid air keep Alternaria and Cladosporium active from spring through fall.
