Pulling the moss is not going to solve the problem. The moss puts in roots to the tree. You'll have to cut the limbs out to get a permanent solution.

Legend has it that the moss grows on the north fringe of a tree. I even have not stumbled in this to be authentic usually sufficient to rely on it to navigate via. Moss grows on all sides of a tree. It in basic terms relies upon on which area gets the smallest quantity of solar. If I had to %. an element on which I knew actual that the moss grew, i could could say the exterior. the different area is a crap shoot. consistent with danger in case you appeared at sufficient bushes you may discover that there is a few statistical magnitude interior the form of circumstances the moss seems on the north area as against the different area yet i does no longer place self belief in it for a survival device. i do no longer care what undergo Grills says.

i kind of agree witht the last poster. Moss is there for a reason(the environment permits it to grow there and until you change the environment around the tree, moss will grow back.) I do believe that you can temporarily get rid of it. Removing it by hand or stick would probably be the best.

Spanish moss is a pants... anything you use to kill the spanish moss would kill the tree too. Best thing I can suggest is to find away to pull it off. The Tree will then 'spring back to life'

Spanish moss is an epiphyte, it lives on the host tree, but doesn't rely upon it for food, just support. IF and that's a big IF you have the proper climate for Tillandsia usneoides, try transplanting it by packing the roots in moss for transport and then place the plant and moss up in your trees. I've never heard of it being transplanted, but heck, I live in the desert!

Your moss can be sold. It is used by florists, etc. What you have is a source for making a little extra money.
