Garden Knowledge:
Pine Pollen
 The
nuisance dust of pine pollen covers Atlanta every spring. Although the
pollen rarely causes allergies, it covers cars, decks and roadways. The
high point usually occurs in early April, though I expect it to be a
week later this year. It's not a good time to plan on painting your
house! Yellow

We
get a lot of emails and calls asking whether vines that are climbing
and growing in living trees are harmful. Some vines will kill even the
largest trees, while others may be able to coexist peacefully and some
may require intervention if the vine in question gets too large. 
Flowering trees with a native species found in
the Southeastern U.S. and a species from China. Sometimes called grancy
graybeard, these under-used trees are absolutely gorgeous with tufts of
crisp-white flowers in spring followed by blue-black drupes on female
trees in late summer. Their size makes them perfect for smaller
gardens.
