Please can anyone offer advice on how to remove lichen/mossy growth on current bushes and fruit trees. What available treatments would you recommend? Any advice would be appreciated.

It does no harm. It means you have clean air. I would leave it.
Yep agree, just watched an old GW episode in which Tim confirmed this
Thank you everyone for your valued replies and for offering the advice re my question. I take your knowledge of the subject on board and will leave well alone. Happy gardening everyone.
Only just seen this thread... it's a coincidence because I have a very thick growth of lichen on my old apple trees and I pointed this out to the tree surgeon who was doing some other tree-stuff in my garden. He said it is normal and "a good sign".
Thank you AuntyRach, further proof supporting previous subscribers advice.
