River-corridor trees open from February — elm and maple first, then oak and hickory. This month sits outside the usual tree pollen window for the South-Central Plains pattern, so today’s tree pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The Missouri allergy season guide singles out oak and hickory over an elm and maple opening, in a season written by the state’s rivers.
