Bacteria grow and multiply on almost every type of surface in our world and trees are often ideal: they have moist areas, away from direct sunlight and other species growing there (lichens, mosses, fungi) provide all the nutrients some bacteria need. You never usually see trees covered in sheets of bacterial slime because their numbers are controlled by the tree's own defences, rainwater washing bacteria away, sunlight killing them and nutrient availability. Dead trees are often infected with more bacteria simply because they have no defence mechanism against bacterial colonisation.
Does bacteria grow on trees?
Bacteria can grow anywhere there is a medium to support it. A rock, tree, water, sand etc. Haven't you ever heard of lawns dying because of disease?
