Yew Tree Has Moss And White Fungus Like Substance

Question From: M. Bellrose - Vermont, United States
Q: my yews look very healthy with no winter kill this year -- however there is a white fungus like substance, with moss growing on it in some places that is covering some of the branches. It has been very wet this year, and it rained very hard yesterday, so today I am able to gently remove some of the substance --- is there something I should do?

A: I would get and onsite inspection from a certified arborist. To find one in your are go to www.tcia.org. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
