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


A power washer should remove the mold.
