New Orleans Spanish Moss On Live Oaks

Live Oaks and Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides) are an odd New Orleans Couple. They have gotten along for hundreds of years and remain very compatible. With silver gray threadlike stems it hangs in long graceful streams from the trees. It has long been associated with the beauty of the trees of the Deep South.

Dripping with ghostly looking spanish moss, these live oaks are a beautiful sight to see when you are walking through the over 1,300 acres that make up The Big Easy's City Park. Oak Trees With branches that soar into the sky and reach out to touch the ground. They have survived numerous hurricanes; they sheltered the original Native American inhabitants that lived along the banks of Bayou St. John; they were witness to many duels of honor right into the 1800′s. These live oaks were watching over the bayous and swamps long before the French and Spanish showed up to settle the area.

Driving through NOLA's City Park on a weekday (especially during the school year), you can always find an unoccupied place to stake a claim under one of these magnificent trees. Spread a blanket, sit back, relax and let history wash over you.
