Hi guys , moss can enhance a landscape or over power it, it can easily overpower the foliage of a single tree taking the focus off the tree itself . . Balance is what is required , i have moss on landscapes and single tree's depending on what i'm trying to replicate .
Moss covering the base on my Swamp Cypress represents the green algae covered bayou's in which they grow .It would look rather strange to have the red scoria soil mix showing against the reddish trunk and it enhances the Cypress knee's .
My P'J Fig Ishitsuki is covered in moss , quite over powering now but it will be removed in various areas to create balance and enhance or highlight the rock itself and the roots growing down the crevices
Some of the mosses i used will dry out and repel water so it is important to keep it moist at all times
This is a typical example of moss growing up here on the Eastern and Southern sides of a Cedars Plantation

Come Spring it over grows the the leaf and needle litter creating a massive blanket of green .
You may not see too much in a concrete jungle but in the great outdoors here its everywhere .
