Spanish moss looks like a tattered sail on an abandaned ship. In the end, denotes a dead tree. (5 years and 2878 days ago)

friiskiwi says:

Spanish moss is an epiphyte which absorbs nutrients (especially calcium) and water from the air and rainfall. Spanish moss is colloquially known as "air plant".

While it rarely kills the trees, it lowers their growth rate by reducing the amount of light to a tree's own leaves. It also increases wind resistance, which can prove fatal to the host tree in a hurricane.

You are correct. Much better explanation. thanks.
