@theshilohfarm: Botanical Sexism is real and I am going deep down the rabbit hole. Help me fight this injustice and plant a tree today 🌳 In the 1960’s a disease brought over from a British shipment of logs wiped out an estimated 75% of America’s 77 million elm trees by 1989. As landscapers and city planners looked for advice on what to replace them with, the USDA recommended only planting male trees to avoid having to clean up fruit, seeds and nuts. Male trees won’t produce fruit, but they do produce pollen and lots of it. As an allergy survivor I feel it is my responsible to warn others of this danger and wake people up to botanical sexism. Enough is enough. #pollen #tree #tree #fruit #fruittrees #history #botanical #nature #treelovers #naturelovers #historical #education #fact #facts #funfacts #allergies #seed #seeds #plants #plants #plantatree #shilohfarm #conspiracy #funny #parody #education #educational #homestead #homesteading #climate #environment #plantsoftiktok #arbor #treework #treetok #allergycheck #allergic #pollenseason #conspiracytiktok #conspiracytherory #government
