spanish moss question??????

18 years ago

Does anyone know if spanish moss grows in the Great Dismal Swamp? In that area, the farthest inland that I know spanish moss growing naturally, is Merchants Millpond State Park in Gates County, NC. Gates County is west of the Dismal Swamp and borders VA. I would think it would grow in the Dismal Swamp if it grows further inland, yet i can't find any information that it does.

That is just about the northern limit. Love Merchants Mill Pond used to live in Ahoskie, NC.
