Silver birch allergy

[Shane]

I went to quote for the removal of a pair of silver birches today.

When I asked what the problem was that their removal would solve I was told-

 

'I get on really well with the neighbour but he says he has an allergy to silver birch, and I don't want to upset him'

 

I suggested she asked him for some more details (and maybe some evidence)

but in the mean time has anyone on here ever heard of this?

I think Birch pollen is one of the worst for hay fever, but I could be wrong.

That was my initial thought but she recons they are really good friends and he would never be a deceptive chap.

 

Dunno, just cos I've never heard of it - after all I can't speak Chinese but there are billions who do.

True . . Just wondered if it might be a leaves/light scam ?

I would agree, birch pollen is one of the main causes for hayfever. The pollen is one of the first to be produced, the milder it is the earlier its coming into season.

Birch pollen is a frequent cause of allergy. Not convinced though that removing the neighbour's tree will help his hay fever. The pollen is so light that it travels vast distances. I think I'd decline.

Christchurch City Council have just lost a four year court case over its refusal to remove a silver birch that the plaintiff had said was toxic and was partly responsible for his wife's death. CCC is now having to remove ALL Silver Birch on its land. Personally I think it's a massive load of BS but the judge saw it differently.
