College Station’s pollen seasons
The geography, climate and plants behind each season here, with a source for every fact.
Early settlers found belts of oak forest crossing strips of prairie grassland in the Post Oak Savannah, a region sometimes called the Cross-Timbers.2 The city’s parks department places College Station in this ecoregion.3 Patches of oak woodland are interspersed with grassland on gently rolling to hilly land, 300 to 800 feet above sea level.2 About 42 inches of precipitation falls in a typical year at College Station, and the freeze-free season runs about 278 days.1
On the region’s ranches, introduced grasses such as bermudagrass are grazed along with forage crops and native grasslands.2 The city’s native landscaping guide lists large native trees such as post oak, water oak, willow oak, pecan, white and green ash, American elm and cedar elm.3
Cedar elm becomes a large tree along the Colorado and Brazos rivers.4 It flowers from August to September, and a second flowering may follow in October.4 In more eastern parts of Texas, eastern redcedars pollinate between December and January, around the same time as the state’s Ashe junipers.5
