How does kudzu take nutrients from trees?
It is by invading arboreal space and killing woody plants that kudzu takes nutrients from trees.
Specifically, the climbing, coiling, trailing vine in question (Pueraria spp) carries the additional common name of Japanese arrowroot. It exhibits aggressive, invasive behavior by setting speedy records at establishing roots and growing shoots. It operates by covering the tree from root to crown in a layer of kudzu which cuts off sunlight exposure, impedes photosynthetic activity, and obstructs nutrient intake. The result will be death by starvation and strangulation.

Is a banana peel thrown out the window of a car considered trash?
Food is biodegradable and will become part of soil unlike plastics that will never degarde on their own. Whether or not it is trash is in the eye of the beholder. Banana peels can be benefical to gardens, but your neighbors or strangers that have them thrown in their yard may not approve of it because it is 'unsightly'. Also if it's getting thrown is someone else yard they may be concerned about tripping on it. I can't say as to what the police would say if they caught you throwing one out your car window, but I don't think they would approve because roadways are meant to be kept clear. My suggestion is to throw them in your yard or garden and keep nature's goodness to yourself.
ClarificationThe answer is yes. If you throw it out of your car window or on the ground on public property you will be cited for littering. Just because a discard is biodegradable that doesn't mean it's okay to throw it on the ground. If everyone did that the world would be a smelly, messy place indeed.

Natural remedy to kill ants on fruit trees?
Ants tend to show up in large numbers on trees that offer sources of sweet food in the form of fruit; honeydew from aphids and scale; or sap from sugar maples. [1] Make sure that no branches touch the ground. This is to force ants to travel up the trunk. The trunk should be wrapped with duct tape, fabric tree cover, or heavy paper. On top of that layer should be sticky paper trapping. [2] Check for aphids and scale. Ants protect aphids and scale from the latter two's natural enemies. [3] So controls will have to be applied. The most environmentally-friendly choices are horticultural oils, and insecticidal soaps store-bought or homemade with soapy water. But an effective synthetic that's low in environmental toxicity is permethrin.
