Can't identify - grayish mottled growth (with some green on edges) growing over MANY of my trees. On trunk up through limbs and the limbs are dying or dead. Couldn't find pictures online of diseases. Tried A & M site and Cornell University. Just joined, 1st message. Hope I did it right. Help! and Thanks....

What kind of tree(s) are you seeing it on? Any chance of posting images of the growth? Is it on areas of the tree that are always/usually shaded from direct sunlight?

It is on mulberry, pine, peach, chinaberry,etc. It doesn't seem picky about type of tree and likes sunny and shady areas. It is not a raised attachment to a tree,(like a growth,)but more on and into the surface. Top to bottom of most of the trees. Will try to post picture.

Can't post photo. Whatever this is is spliting bark off in pieces on the peach and pine trees. Peach tree is dying. (I hate to lose a tree.) All I can tell you is, it is light and dark gray with green algea looking stuff also. Would spraying with vinegar or orange oil help? (Or hinder?) I see it in many of the yards around here. (We are in country area.)

It sounds like some sort of moss or fungus. Very odd.

If it were my trees, I'd hit it with a combination of garlic pepper tea (to prevent opportunistic bad bugs from picking on them while they're ill) cornmeal tea, and some potassium bicarbonate.

Do I need to spray the whole tree with anything? Leaves falling off.

The garlic pepper tea & cornmeal tea & potassium bicarbonate does this go in the base of the trees?



thank you again
