My daughter has a nice live oak tree in her yard in SanAntonio but it has ball moss trying to take over. Is there anything that can be done, short of climbing all over it and removing all the balls?I heard that this is killing trees in the Kerrville area. : :(

Ball moss does not kill the trees. It just likes to live there.

If she finds it unsightly, she could thin it some.

Or, try this link to a previous topic.

Take care.

If there is a lot of ball moss, it doesn't do the tree any good.
