According to multiple local allergy trackers, tree pollen is the major culprit right now, consistently rated “High” across Southern Nevada. Grass and weed pollen remain low, but trees? They’re throwing a full‑blown pollen party.

Below is your guide to what’s blooming, what’s blowing, and what’s making half the valley sneeze like they’re trying to launch themselves into orbit.

🌳 The Big Offenders: Trees Currently Making Everyone Miserable

1. Mulberry Trees (Especially the Male Ones) - Las Vegas banned new plantings decades ago, but the existing ones?
They’re still here. Still thriving. Still blasting pollen like confetti cannons.
2. Olive Trees - Another desert favorite that’s beautiful… and brutal.
3. Ash Trees - Common in neighborhoods and landscaping across the valley.
4. Elm Trees -
5. Juniper (a.k.a. Cedar) - If you’ve had that “I’m sick but not sick” feeling, this might be the one.

🌟 Bottom Line

If you’re sneezing in southern Las Vegas right now, blame the trees.
Mulberry, ash, olive, elm, and juniper are all in high gear, coating the valley in a fine layer of “spring glitter” that nobody asked for.

The good news?
Grass and weed pollen haven’t kicked in yet.
The bad news?
They will—just give it a few weeks.
