What side of the tree does moss grow on?

Yes, moss does begins a very, very large part of its life cycle only on the north side of trees in the US. However, after a very, very long time that the moss has established itself, I'm talking decades here, then the moss will take over the south side too. But not initially and it rarely lasts that long to take over both sides of a tree. It generally will perish first. Moss grows on all sides of trees. It grows thickest on the north side because the north side doesn't get as much direct sunlight (If it gets any at all) And moss generally grows better in shaded areas. If this is true that moss grows thickest on the north side of the tree, in the southern hemisphere the moss should then grow on the south side of the tree as the sun should pretty much always face the north side of the tree on trees below the equator.

Which side of a tree does moss grow and why?

Moss grows more on the most sheltered side of trees. A boy scout's trick for finding north was to look at the trees in a forest and see which side the moss grew; the assumption was that the prevaling wind came from the west so the moss grew on the east. This is a bit of an old wive's tale; local varation make it an unreliable way of finding north.


What kind of relationship does moss on a tree have with the tree?

do mosses affect the trees that they grow on? Most mosses are harmless, but Spanish Moss can be destructive. It blocks the light, slowing the growth of the tree, and it weighs down the branches and can cause them to break. Over a long period of time, it can weaken the tree and expose it to insects and disease, ultimately killing the tree. Many people think it's beautiful, but, because of its destructive nature, some Southerners look upon Spanish Moss with almost as much contempt as Kudzu.


Does moss really point north?

Moss does not inherently point north. However, in the northern hemisphere, moss tends to grow more on the northern side of trees due to factors like sunlight exposure and moisture levels. This phenomenon can sometimes give the impression that moss points north, but it is not a reliable method for navigation.
