GENERAL INFORMATION

• The name “Spanish moss” actually originated as “Spanish beard”.
• Native American tribal people called it “itla-okla”, which meant “tree hair”.
• Over time, Spanish beard became Spanish moss, what it’s most commonly known as today.
• The Polynesians occasionally refer to Spanish moss as “Kali’s hair”, and throughout its natural environment, it’s still called “tree hair”, simply because it resembles hair so much!
