[Wikipedia] Host for Various Plants, Oldest Certified Specimen: The branches frequently support other plant species such as rounded clumps of ball moss (Tillandsia recurvata), thick drapings of Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides), resurrection fern (Pleopeltis polypodioides), and parasitic mistletoe. The Seven Sisters Oak, estimated to be between 500 and 1,000 years old, is the largest certified southern live oak tree. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
