Last Spring I put several maples in grow boxes. The soil is a 50/50 mix of hadite and peat moss. Now the soil is covered in a beautiful carpet of green moss. It came from the spores in the peat. The soil was kept damp constantly and the trees are in a greenhouse covered only by 50% shade cloth. The temperatures were in the 90's most of time this summer.

I'll try and get a picture and post it.
