Live oak
Quercus virginiana
Very low today, mostly tree pollen.
Last updated July 9, 2026
Pollen levels in Pasadena are running quite low today, with both tree and grass sources barely registering. Grass is the slightly more present of the two, but even so, most people should notice little to no effect, and those with sensitivities are unlikely to find conditions bothersome. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to hold steady at these low levels through the next several days, offering a stretch of easy conditions for anyone typically affected by it. Tree pollen, which comes from local contributors like oak, celtis, maple, cottonwood, and elm, has already had its peak earlier in the year and remains quiet now heading into midsummer. This is a fairly calm stretch overall, with weed pollen, including ragweed, still months away from its typical late-summer and fall rise.
