Residential and commercial landscapes are loaded with
male-only trees and shrubs since they are litter- and
therefore maintenance-free. But given a choice, what would
you rather do—sweep or battle hay fever? The fact that our
urban forests have been propagated with male-clones is a
crime on two counts: male plants are the pollen-producing
offenders, and without female plants to absorb pollen,
allergenic pollen counts are on the rise nationwide. In SAFE
SEX IN THE GARDEN, horticulturist Thomas Leo Ogren explores
this safe sex issue (plant sex, that is!), as well as many
other allergy-related topics: organic gardening, protecting
pets against allergies, handling allergy-related stress, and
global warming’s affect on allergies.
