... and I expect that the moss grows on the south side there too

Ahh, so you're not sure either!


Oh - I am sure that if there is moss, it would be on the side of the tree
away from the sun: South there. I just have not seen it with my own
eyes, having not been there. )

So back to my original on topic question, does it face north? (except for
Tomes down under compass)


Why would the moss face north on the other side of the equator? Moss grows
on the side of the tree away from the drying effect of sunlight. Moss has
no compass; moss reacts to the wetter environment away from sunlight. Down
there it is the south side. I did a little searching for you:

- look at the picture of moss growing on the south side. It is in the right
hand column, 9th one down.

At least I found something.... grin.
