Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Shire of Nillumbik is surrounded mainly by woodland, which covers around 90% of the nearby area. Trees are an important local pollen source, given how much woodland surrounds the area. Grasses and weeds such as plantain and pigweed round out the local mix. Undergrowth, clearings and woodland edges add smaller amounts of grass and herb pollen.
Flowering trees bring the first pollen of the year in early spring. Grasses take over in early summer, with temperatures around 20°C, and their pollen lingers into early fall. Plantain and pigweed bring a final peak from mid-spring into early fall. Spring is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.
