What is Ball Moss?
Ball moss (Tillandsia recurvata) is a non-parasitic plant that attaches to tree branches in areas with high humidity and low light, such as Central Texas. Although it doesn’t take nutrients from the tree, ball moss can become problematic when it grows in dense clusters, blocking sunlight and potentially suffocating branches.
Suffocation of Branches: Dense clusters limit sunlight, reducing photosynthesis.
Branch Death: If left untreated, smaller branches may die, spreading to larger ones.
Aesthetic Issues: It detracts from the tree’s natural beauty, reducing the overall appeal of your landscape.
At Real Green Services, we use Kocide 101 fungicide, a proven treatment for ball moss. Applied at 4-6 pounds per 100 gallons of water, this solution eradicates ball moss without harming the tree. Suitable for year-round application, it directly targets the moss while ensuring the health of your trees.
We assess each tree to develop a customized treatment plan, taking into account factors like tree species, age, and the extent of the moss infestation. This ensures a tailored approach for effective and lasting results.
To prevent ball moss from returning, Real Green Services recommends consistent tree care, including:
Proper Irrigation: Keeping trees well-hydrated reduces stress.
Deep Root Fertilization: Strengthens the tree, improving overall resilience.
Maintaining a Healthy Canopy: Regular trimming encourages sunlight and air circulation, reducing the chances of moss regrowth.
