Tu from various circumstances (on a branch of a male tree suddenly
female catkins appear). This is especially tase in large cities with
environmental problems. That is why the culling of females to
not completely solve the problem of poplar "fluff."



Allergists from different cities of Russia on this issue are surprisingly unanimous, and
answer: no, can not. Hay fever - a reaction to pollen, and poplar fluff
is the seed. In fact, at this time of flowering of birch and grass, and allergy
occurs on their pollen. Many of the poplar fluff sneeze, sneezing same -
physiological protective reaction to irritation. Sneeze from
poplar fluff may neallergichnye people suffering from chronic rhinitis and
whom airway mucosa ismoresensitive.



Yet, certain wines poplar fluff in the exacerbation of allergic
disease is present. Poplar fluff is not only cleans the air of dust, but also
is an effective carrier of these allergens - pollen of grass.




According to the newspaper Petrovka 38, because of the poplar fluff in Moscow each week
burns from 10 to 30 cars. Pooh has an unpleasant feature of the engraved
in all the cracks and breaks like gunpowder. Of course, contribute to the statistics

Few people thought about the fact that the very poplar to man is not
smaller and evenmoredangerous than their feathers. Old poplar trees (and urban
under the trees age 40-50 years) in addition to soft and easy to decaying wood
have a weak, shallow root system, which makes them very unstable.
Thus, during the famous hurricane of 2001 in Moscow was felledmorethan 14,000
trees, mostly - poplar. In isolated cases falling poplar
Moscow authorities have to face after every severe storm. So, 1
June 2003 two women of the capital have been injured falling on them a tree. More

Poplar - a specific tree, but with proper care it can be avoided
most trouble. Every year in early spring poplars should be cut back
the largest branch and the crown. This will not only make the trees more
stable, but also save the townspeople from their summer fluff. If in Soviet times
utilities somehow cope with the "service" of urban trees,
Now the scope of landscapers sharply reduced. Besides, now
entered a period of "maturity" of the poplars, planted in the last five years of the Soviet
Union.
