Demossing & Thinning of an Oak Tree

A Homeowner in West Melbourne asked us to demoss and trim their Oak trees. Spanish moss does not kill trees since it is not a paresite but an air plant that simply uses the tree as a source of support. But it can cause the tree to have less and less foilage as the moss grows because it shades the tree from the sun. Removing moss from Oak trees is a timely process which exceeds the cost of normal trimming but if left unattended can result in dead branches and sometimes an entire section of a tree.
