Moss is fairly common on tree trunks and can develop when the trunk becomes wet and moss spores are present where water seeping down from above feeding the moss. Moss appears as light green sheets over clumps around trees which means they’re getting plenty of moisture. If it is growing on the tree trunk, then there may be moisture around. Moss growth on a tree means that the trunk gets enough shade for moss to grow. Green moss growth shows that you have good air quality in your area. Moss is also an indicator of good air quality. Mosses only grow where the air is clean and relatively free of pollutants. Smoggy air kills moss.
