Default apple tree disease?

Hi,
just moved into our new house and found the apple tree in the front
garden has white cotton like growths on it.
Is this a sign of disease?
thanks

Probably Wooly Aphid. The only effective control I'm told is methylated
spirit and a paintbrush.

Do the growths contain woolly caterpillars?
