Sounds like the chinaberry trees are not indigenous. Liveoak trees *are*
indigenous to the Austin area, and incidentally the most popular
landscaping tree.
This is the worst year in ages for liveoak pollen, apparently. I believe
it. (But if you wash your face carefully with Lava soap (or some kinder,
gentler exfoliating stuff, but the Lava was what was handy *downstairs*
and I was too impatient to even go upstairs) after you come in, it helps a
lot.)
