How long does tree pollen last?

Allergic to tree pollen? Although tree pollination can begin as early as February, it can last through May. That means you might need to slog through spring allergies for four long months.

Does pollen ever go away?

The allergy is unlikely to go away once it has developed. However, symptoms can be treated with medications and allergy shots.
