Apple Trees Allergies

Apples trees represent a classic American Symbol; but what do they do to your classic American allergies?


It's difficult to tell how apple trees impact our allergies. Most of the articles you find are focused on how the actual fruit causes allergic reactions as opposed to how the tree causes allergic reactions.
Apple trees, like Magnolia Trees and other large flowering trees, the pollen is larger and heavier and does not tend to impact our allergies much.

While Apple Trees are not a common offender these trees are:

  • Ash
  • Aspen
  • Beech
  • Birch
  • Box elder
  • Cedar
  • Cottonwood
  • Elm
  • Hickory
  • Mountain elder
  • Mulberry
  • Oak
  • Pecan
  • Willow
People who suffer from allergies because of these trees may be more likely to experience swelling or itchiness in the mouth eating fruits such as apples, almonds, carrots, celery, cherries, coriander, fennel, hazelnuts, kiwi, peaches, pears, or plums. While these are all grown on trees, it is not the pollen from the trees that cause allergic reactions.
