Ball moss is widely present around Central Texas, mostly in Live Oak trees. While all recognize that it is not a parasite like mistletoe (also widely prevalent in Central Texas), it can over load a tree's under branches. It is often seen to be a precurser (but not causal) of a tree's death as the ball moss will concentrate on the dead and dying branches.
