I love trees! their beauty! their oxygen production! :-)
I am also allergic to many of them. I know Albuquerque has a list of acceptable, less-allergenic trees that can be planted here.
Do you address this issue in your work?

Lee,
I’m not sure what you mean by “addressing it in our work.” We certainly do not plant or advocate planting trees that the city prohibits.
It is important to note that pollens travel great distances in the air, particularly in our spring winds, and eliminating trees from our planting palette is not a particularly helpful way of addressing allergies.
