Are you sure its mould and not lichen which is perfectly natural on trees?

In fact, the growth of lichen like this is a sign of good air quality and a lack of pollution. I would guess you live in a rural area or one with clean air.

If the leaves are curled around a whitish, fuzzy deposit, and the "mold" is also whitish and fuzzy, it might be wooly aphid, a potentially serious pest.
