That's not fuzz on a branch -- those are Beech Blight Aphids - a piercing insect that uses its needle-like mouth to pierce plant material and suck out nutrients and chlorophyll. The nymphs clump together to resemble puffs of cotton to avoid predators. Adults grow wings and usually fly between two hosts. They are capable of producing several generations without mating - a process called cyclical parthenogenesis. The best way to control them is to introduce a wide variety of predators like lacewings, hoverflies, earwigs and some species of birds.
