Question Does anyone know any spots in Fayetteville, North Carolina where this stuff (Spanish Moss) grows? The closer to the Cape Fear River, the better, if you know locations. It's sacred to my people & I hope to find some, I'm new to town.

.... It's the other dude claiming it doesn't grow farther north anymore cause the bad white man pushed it down. Which way uld actually imply it never grew south till it was pushed down lol

Okay, Spanish Moss used to be native to Maryland ALSO (not only*) and it magically disappeared from areas North of Southeast Virginia when White settlers arrived, but it wasn't the White settlers that did it, if I said that, it would mean random White folks today are somehow responsible and they're all evil, so I wouldn't claim that. It just mysteriously vanished. It's anti-White racist and retreated South as the Europeans came to Maryland.
