Its not real snow, of course its catkins (飞絮) from

31、 willows and poplar trees (杨树) in spring.For some people, this “snow” is not welcomed. Catkins can cause allergies (过敏), making peoples noses, eyes, and skin uncomfortable.In spring, the female (雌性的) trees grow lots of flowers. When these flowers finish growing, they produce cotton-like seeds that s

People cut off the branches of female trees and replace them with branches from male (雄性的) trees. This cuts down the number of catkins. H

33、owever, this way is slow and expensive. A skilled worker can do the “surgery” on less than ten trees a day.

35、ar to keep the catkin numbers under control.Other than injections, the trees can take “medicine”.
