Velvet ash
Fraxinus velutina
Low today, mostly grass pollen.
Last updated July 9, 2026
Grass pollen is the only real presence in the Paradise area today, and it's sitting at a low level. Tree pollen is essentially quiet right now, so anyone sensitive to grasses may notice mild effects, while those who react mainly to trees should have an easy day. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to hold steady at this same low level through the next several days, with no significant swings in either direction. This tracks with the summer pattern in the region, as tree pollen from species like Acacia and Vitex has largely wound down for the season, leaving grasses as the main source of pollen activity until later in the year when weeds typically take over.
