Many persons have expressed some concern about the Epiphytes that are hanging on the tree branches and it's effect on the trees. In the recent past we posted literature on the notice board showing the reader that Epiphytes do not affect the trees in the sense that they get their nourishment from the surrounding air and not from 'sapping' the trees. The only real damage may be the added weight to the branches when rain falls. One thing is for certain; our climate and the dampness of our area ensures that these plants would continue to grow irregardless if we remove them.
