Enough lichens on the bark causes the bark to deteriorate and introduces bacterial diseases and harmful fungus. I lost a whole grove of cherry trees due to allowing the lichens to grow too thickly on them. Pity too, really good Montmorency trees that produced heavily.Shame to lose a good fruit tree, for sure. Especially a cherry (personal point of view....)
