Natural Spray to rid fruit trees of moss

Question
I have a old orchard of trees that I just pruned that produced marvelous fruit last year. I live in the northwest and they are full of moss and I would like to get rid of that naturally. Someone mentioned Dormant Oil by Lily Miller, but since we eat the fruit I do not want any chemical spray. Any Suggestions.

Answer
Dear Tara:

I don't have an alternative to the Dormant Oil by Lily Miller. According to my research and the product advertisements, it has been verified organic (product meets or exceeds the organic standards of the US, Canada, the European Economic Community, and the World Health Organization).
