Wilmington Pollen Report
Wilmington's coastal Carolina climate is mild and humid — great for live oaks and camellias, and for a nearly ten-month allergy calendar. Pine and oak cover the area each spring, grasses run through the long summer, ragweed fills the fall, and the Cape Fear River and Atlantic humidity keep mold spores active for most of the year.

What drives allergies in Wilmington
Trees: pine, oak, and cedar (February – May)
Loblolly pine produces the spring yellow dust; oak (Quercus) — including Wilmington's signature live oaks — drives the real symptoms. Eastern red cedar starts in late winter.
Grasses: Bermuda (April – September)
Bermuda grass lawns and coastal grasses pollinate through the long, humid summer.
Weeds: ragweed (August – November)
Ragweed (Ambrosia) fills disturbed soils and marsh edges, with counts elevated until a late first frost.
Mold: coastal, season-long
Cape Fear and Atlantic humidity keep Alternaria and Cladosporium active from spring through late fall, with spikes after tropical systems.
