|  Cedar Elm Help With Weird Fuzz On Tree
I had a tree planted that I thought was a cedar elm... My biggest concern is the greenish fuzz it has growing all over branches/truck. There is also some yellow clumps that are growing and now appear to be flowering. Wondering if I should be worried about it? Bought and planted in Austin, Texas. I wanted to upload a pic but the site is telling me the files too big so I have to learn how to adjust that first. Thanks, Mike |

I have ID it as lichens, should I worry about it or attempt to remove? it covers 80% of the branches. Thanks!

lichens, mosses, ferns--most any epiphyte that grows on a tree is harmless

As others have stated, lichens are not a concern, rather enjoy the additional beauty they bring to the trunk and branches of your tree....plenty of great quality info and images here Lichens and Air Quality Monitoring |

You pay premium for large rocks with lichen on them for your garden landscape, they look great too.
