Default Pressure treated wood fence with black mold?

I special order 15 pressure treated wood fence panels from local Home
Depot. The contractor shipped and installed them to my back yard just
10 days ago. I found out there are black mold all over 15 panels, some
more some less.

I went back to customer service, they told me pressure treated wood
won't get mold, and is mold resistant. I called and complain to HD. The
manager told me that is normal with "minor" mold. I called Lowes and
they told me it is rare at all. (I did not tell the Lowe's guy where I
get fences from.)

I am stuck here. What should I do? I don't want to use bleach to kill my
fruit trees next to fences. HD refuse do anything except telling me to
get a bucket of solution to wash them off. The fences came here new
with lots of black mold!!

So my question is here, it that common for molding on pressure treated
wood? What should I do for those errors HD made and the molding problem
I have on the back yard? Thanks
