Local Environmental Conditions
The landscape around this part of Shire of Yarra Ranges is heavily wooded, with a good deal of open grassland. Maple stands out as the main allergenic tree nearby. Beyond the trees, grasses matter a great deal, and plantain is the main weed source. Roadside verges and patches of open ground provide further room for grasses and weeds.
Tree pollen peaks in early spring, when the weather warms to around 10°C and maple is in full flower. Then come the grasses, strongest in early summer and fading by early fall. Plantain flowers through much of the warmer half of the year. Spring is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen.
