Fairbanks Pollen Count

Updated: Friday, May 8, 2026

The Friday count showed: 

Alder - 2 - low

Poplar/cottonwood/aspen - 46 - moderate

Willow - 2 - low

 

It looks like the Populus genus has decided to take a bit of a breather after Wednesday's high-count "takeover." While it's still the dominant grain on the slide, the numbers have dipped significantly today.
