![]() ![]() Technically Spanish moss is a bromeliad, a relative of pineapples. Spanish moss can be found throughout this state and much of the southeast. In many trees, the water runoff from their leaves and branches is actually rich in minerals and provides more nutrients to the Spanish moss living within them. It receives its nutrients and moisture through the air and with sunshine. That is, it is a plant that grows on other plants, but it is not a parasite. Iconic, historic, mysterious, romantic even, and often misunderstood, Spanish moss really is not a moss at all.
