Most trees give off pollen. Oak trees are beautiful.

We had a big beautiful oak tree where I grew up. Some garden
service told my mother it wasn't well and we had to dig a trench
around it, a couple feet deep. She didn't want to spend the money,
but she trusted him and she did it.

I was there, a couple years ago, 46 years later, and the tree is
bigger and more beautiful.

What was the point of the trench? I've never heard of this.
