It was confirmed by the Butterfly Conservation charity that ermine moth caterpillars have created the webbing.
A spokesperson said: “The webs provide protection from predators and the webs and the caterpillars are harmless.
“The webs slowly disappear over the summer and the adult moths fly later in the summer. There won’t be any lasting damage to the tree.”
