I have a Scots pine started from seed 3 years ago that is covered in pollen

bit crazy to me. It does have exceptional vigour this year (the candles are
about as long as the plant is high: 6-8" a piece). Normal? Weird? Should I
patent it and make millions?

Joe, I haven't got a clue what would cause this, but perhaps you could get a
government grant to investigate it? ;-)
