ITV News Digital Article Interview Request

Hi,

Today, I'm putting together an explainer for the ITV News website which explores whether ‘Male trees are to blame for your hayfever allergies’.

There's been a lot of debate in recent years about whether urban (city) planners have purposefully planted male trees over their female equivalents, leading to greater amounts of pollen being produced.

As part of this story, I'm looking to speak to a range of horticultural and urban planning experts to understand whether this really is the case.

I'm working towards a deadline of 8pm today (June 7), so any interview would need to take place before then, and can be conducted over any format that best suits the interviewee (e.g. Zoom/telephone).

Thanks in advance!
