That's a narrow-leaved ash, also known as southern ash.

Thank you! It is awful. At least, I think it’s the culprit of my allergies. Either way, I greatly appreciate your insight on this one!

Pollen, I guess? I'm afraid I don't know a whole lot about allergens, but hope it can help you to find some countermeasure... Maybe it's time to get the masks out again :-/

Ah, thank you. It’s not Covid, though. It stops with Benadryl, but Benadryl aggravates my asthma.

Oh no, I meant masks to keep the pollen from getting into your airways...

Oh, okay. I see what you mean. Hey, that might work!

Next time, you could try the plantnet app. Works for me most of the time!

Cool! I’ll check it out. Thanks!

I just want to point out that my stalker managed to come along and downvote this insignificant comment. It appears he was systematically downvoting all of my previous comments in chronological order. The site mods don’t care.
