The pollen that coats everything is pine pollen, and "most" people are not allergic to it. DFW has less of this type of pollen in general because there are few pines, especially compared to the Carolinas and Georgia. Allergies anywhere are going to be specific to what individuals are allergic to.

WRONG! Where did you get your information? Around here, through the winter and beyond, mountain cedar (and to a lesser extent Eastern red cedar) pollen covers everything. It blows in from the Hill Country and makes many people miserable.

In the spring, other trees put forth their pollen that falls onto our cars and us; trees such as oak, ash, elm, and mulberry. Pine is not doing a solo act in nature.
