If you've never seen it spanish moss is this stringy grey plant that only hangs
from tree branches. We find it alot in live oaks and other kinds of trees but I
looked around today and noticed that it never seems to grow from pine trees. I
was wondering if knew why it does't like to hand from pine trees.
