Plus, Grumpys gripe of the week.
Question Of The Week
“I just moved from Colorado to the South Carolina Lowcountry.
So, Spanish moss is foreign to me.
Whenever I see it hanging from live oaks, it looks like the branches died.
What would you recommend to decrease the amount of it in my trees?”
- Jessie
Grumpy’s Response:A majestic live oak draped with Spanish moss is a Southern icon.
Both of those plants are native.
And Spanish moss only uses limbs for support and does not harm the tree.
I think you should learn to love it like we, Southerners, do.
So, leave that stuff hanging on the trees.
And it’s beautiful and itprovides such shade,and it’s just beautiful to look at.
