No; the cotton is the carrier for the seed that the tree produces. Contrary to popular wisdom, people are NOT allergic to this substance (you%26#039;d have to breathe them in completely after all!); instead, people are allergic to cottonwood pollen, which is too small to be seen except in great quantities, or under a microscope.





If you are willing to replace your trees (not likely, I%26#039;m sure), then there are %26quot;cottonless%26quot; varieties of cottonwood that you can purchase and plant. Otherwise, I suspect you will simply have to accept the fact that cottonwoods make seeds with these fibers, and keep the trees you have.
