Female Plants & Trees can help solve Allergy increase

WHAT have we done? Thirty some years ago, the great population of the suburbs planted female trees producing no pollen, but they did produce "droppings" of seeds. I'm sure you've heard people say "I don't want a dirty tree in my yard". All those helicopters twirling down from trees, all those seeds that needed to be swept up off sidewalks or raked up off that immaculate lawn, that just wasn't a grood image for the green dandelion free lawn. We couldn't have such a "mess". And so more male trees were planted. They were much cleaner after all. Now here it is 2010 and all those male trees and plants are throwing their pollen in our faces, causing annoying symptoms that we spend a fortune on at the doctor's office or for over the counter medication. It doesn't make sense.

The next time you're thinking of landscaping that yard of yours..........buy a female plant. And let your local/state environmental departments, your local nurserys and your neighbors know that you don't consider seed droppings "dirty".
