Unwanted Branches

Hello all.

(Printer Info and Settings)

Stock Ender 3, printing with Hatchbox Matte Black PLA (which has done fine for me in the past), E-Steps are good, head is at 205C, bed is 55C (no problems with adhesion), models sliced in Cura at 0.12mm layer height and tree supports, 50mms travel speed, 5mm retraction (have gone as high as 8mm with no appreciable change in results).

(The Story)

I've been printing with PLA for quite a while and this is becoming more and more of a problem. Everything I print has these weird bits of extra plastic. There is also some conventional stringing that I need to address, but my main concern is all the extra plastic branches. They make it nearly impossible to clean up the model and are getting rather annoying, so any help would be appreciated.
