Hi,

I'm visiting Colleges Station in Texas and the univesity campus is filled with lovely live oak trees.

After a while I have noticed that some oak trees are filled with tillandsia (the air ball plant) while some oak trees have absolutely none (at least that I can find).

So this let me to wonder why is tillandsia only on some live oak trees and not all of them?

thank you!

Perhaps the birds favored certain trees? Won't be the trees, but the carriers...

Hmmm...maybe.
I was wondering if some trees are "resistant" to Tillandsia?
