Eglantine Problem


I have NO idea what these are on my Eglantine. Big tribble looking mossy masses on the branches. It is definately not doing as well as past years with performance for the foliage is sparce and lots of dead wood. It is such a beast and never fails to require 3 or more butchering in a growing season. I am going to say its age is 10 years. Does anyone have any idea what these are?

Lichens of some sort.

Paghat has an informative post here.

There are a few plants that grow in trees and bushes that are parasitic, like mistletoe, but there are many more that are perfectly harmless.

I don't think you need to worry about your tree's little friends.
