Why are there more cotton seeds than most years?
If it looks like there is a lot more cotton seed and yellow pollen floating around these days, there is a reason for that.
Carla Hyrcyna, host of the Lawn and Garden Journal, explains why the trees are sending out an abundant amount of seeds this spring.
“I suspect that we are seeing a higher density of this because of the stress of the last two years that trees have been under, you know, from the drought and then the influence of such a wet season,” she says.
Hyrcyna explains that the trees are in survival mode, releasing seeds and pollen to re-populate.
