Fw: HERB - oak moss

[Katherine Blackthorne]

Moss/lichen being removed from a tree is usually *good* for the tree.
These things give off secretions that etch into whatever surface they're on
and give them something to "hang on" to.  Fine for stone, bad for trees.
Unlike mistletoe or ivy, however, it is not likely to kill a healthy tree.
