I think these are web worms like we have in Houston, TX. They encase the
trunk of the tree and eat material on the bark like algae and moss. They are
harmless and very hard to locate beneath the webbing. We had a spate of them
here earlier this spring. All the trees they encased are fine, if not
better.
