Ocala’s pollen seasons
The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Ocala’s weather station records about 293 days between the last spring freeze and the first fall freeze in a typical year, so freezes remain part of winter here.1 Winters average about 60 °F.1 UF/IFAS Extension Marion County includes live oak, longleaf pine, eastern red cedar and wax myrtle on its list of native plants for the county.2
UF/IFAS counts eastern red cedar and wax myrtle among Florida trees with highly allergenic and prevalent pollen, and it names oak as one of the most allergenic.3 February to May is the peak pollinating season for the state’s 11 oak species.3 Live oak, whose range includes Georgia and Florida, flowers every spring from March through May.4 UF/IFAS describes pine pollen as low-allergenic.3
Bahiagrass was introduced to Florida as a pasture grass and is also an option for home lawns.5 UF/IFAS calls it the most abundant grass in Florida and places it high on the list of allergenic plants.3 It also names ragweed among weeds with highly allergenic pollen, while goldenrod has heavy, sticky pollen that does not blow in the wind.3
