Hickory Tree Pollen Count: 5-Day Forecast

Pollen Atlas models the daily detail as an overall index: day-by-day splits by individual pollen type are not part of the modelled data, so this table shows Hickory’s overall trend across the week. Today’s tree pollen reading is the headline above.

Species driving Hickory’s tree pollen

The plant-by-plant detail that is available, from the Google Pollen API, is in the next section.

This month sits outside the usual tree pollen window for the Southeast pattern, so today’s tree pollen reading is the modelled value outranking the calendar — this page reports the modelled reading first. The North Carolina allergy season guide singles out oak-family pollens — not the visible pine dust, which is a weak allergen flowering in the same weeks.
