Moss always grows on the north side of a rock or tree?

[twirl]

but is the tree has no moss
you sit down and clear your head
do not panic
remember the sun is at the highest at noon
it rises in the east
and sets in the west
figure this out and then yell like hell
maybe someone will hear you

[kimcanada]

moss on north?  I would think that it would be moss on south??

moss on north?  I would think that it would be moss on south??

You got me thinking because we have a maple tree outback that has moss growing all the way around it. Seems like thicker and slightly more on the north side. BACK TO TRIVIA

Is it true that moss only grows on the north side of tree trunks and rocks?

It’s not exactly true that moss only grows on the north side of tree trunks. In an open, temperate forest, you may find more moss on the northern side of tree trunks. That’s because the sun shines from the south in the northern hemisphere, so a tree’s north side is generally more shaded and damp – and damp is the way mosses like it.

Mosses need dampness in order to reproduce. Instead of seeds, mosses produce tiny spores. These spores are cast from capsules that only open in moist conditions, and the spores themselves can germinate and survive only if it’s damp.

In a dense, thick forest – where the sun doesn’t penetrate as far – you’ll see mosses on the south, east, and west sides of the trees as well. As for rocks, well, mosses will grow on almost anything if conditions are favorable. As with trees, you might find more moss on the north side of rocks in an open area, but in a shaded forest, chances are good that the rocks will be completely covered.

- Someone lost in a forest need only study the trees around him carefully to find his way. In our hemisphere, he will find that the side of the tree with the most leaves and branches is the south side. Also, by checking the tops of the trees, he will find that they lean to the south too.
- Another clue to direction is found in the bark, which is lighter and brighter on the south side. The stump of a cut tree is also a direction finder, for its rings provide a clue. The rings will be thinner on the south side and thicker on the north.
- One more clue: moss growing at the base of a tree will be another sign, this one pointing to the north.

So which answer is right?

[paul.karen]

Kitkat got it.

But many answers are and can be right.
Moss on the north side is one of the more popular answers.

[kitkatz]

All right give me a minute here....
