Juniper can arrive in late winter, and the main tree wave builds in spring — as late as April at Denver’s altitude. This month sits outside the usual tree pollen window for the Mountain West pattern, so today’s tree pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The Colorado allergy season guide singles out juniper, arriving ahead of the local tree season, and the ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds of late summer.
