I've found that moss works better (for the health of your tree) if it is applied in patches. Cover less than half of the soil...
The full, lush green of solid ground cover, to me, looks unnatural. Think about it...how often do you see a tree in nature with a solid green ground cover streaching from the trunk outward to.......................the edge of the pot
