I don’t think it’s mold, I think it’s lichen. Lichen do not harm trees. Your weeping cherry is safe.
Thank you for such a quick response! Feel much better … time to google lichen.
I thought the same thing. I looks much more like lichen than mold.
Lichen is a sign of clean, healthy air – it’s something you *want* to have!
Definitely lichen…..Xanthoria parietina if I’m not mistaken!
Biodiversity!

I have this “yellow lichen” on the bark of many trees in my garden. One tree in paticular is extensively covered and also has dying leaves and brittle branches at the ends. I’m not sure but I think it may be a corkscrew willow.
