Do you have Spanish Moss on your trees? I do and I hate it. Spanish Moss is a non-parasitic plant or herb that uses trees as a host to grow but does not rub the tree of its nutrients, according to the University of Florida.
Question: If they do not rub the trees of their food, what is destroying my beautiful trees? Indirectly the moss is killing them. They are so prolific that they actually suffocate the leaves causing them to die.
The moss also increases the weight on the branches causing them to break and die. It seems that even, if some how you can get rid of the moss, it has the potential of coming back. The culprit is the wind. Do you get the feeling that you are fighting a losing battle?
