>But when dioecious male trees are planted without the presence of their female equivalents more pollen remains in the air as less is taken in by flowers belonging to female dioecious trees
This is reddit, so someone will correct me in a minute, but, they don’t take in pollen, it happens to land in the right place? That’s why there’s so much of it, they [trees] literally scatter it in the wind. Pollen that sticks to any surface, can’t go up your nose.
Planting more males will mean more pollen, but because there’s now more trees producing pollen, not because there’s less females absorbing it.
Even if it is, they need to find a better name for it.

is it also botanical classism as these trees arent in great big greenhouses?
Can we not just make gmo plants that don’t produce pollen for urban / suburban stuff like this?
