Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

Will it cause it any harm? It didn’t flower this year, though first year in the ground,

Unless every leaf is affected (which is most unlikely), I don't think the tree will be harmed. Keep an eye on it next spring and make sure it gets enough water in its first years.

I also got these patterns on my leaves a few years ago. Took it normally as I thought some insects did it. Never had a problem since.

It seems to me that this is some kind of pest. Do you not have locusts or aphids? It looks very much like someone ate the leaf. Although, after the aphids, it would be twisted, and after the locust, it would be eaten. I would say it looks more like a tree mite. If it is still a tick or other parasite, you need to process the trees.
