The spruce and other local conifers (I live by the Bohemian Forest/Bayerischer Wald) have pollen that seems to be low allergenic by design. I know a lot of people who are allergic to birch or weed pollen, but not to spruce.
By design? Who designed the pollen in those trees?
I read it as "breeds selected to be low-allergenic" by the relative orgs that I assume (re)planted them there but I have no real idea about german forests and the processes of planting trees there.
I assume they meant the people who planted those "tree farms", that they chose trees people were less allergic to.
I guess they meant 'by nature', but maybe not, which will be fun to hear!
