Those green-blue growths that you see on tree trunks and branches are not mosses. They are lichens. Lichens are not killing your tree, nor are they causing it to fail. They are telling you something about your tree's health, though.

Is a partnership between fungi and algae

Comes in a variety of colors (blue-green, gray and more)

Grows in as thin, flaky patches
