Whats the root system like of a 30 year old Female Arizona Ash tree?
I just planted an Arizona Ash about six months ago. I've been looking around on the Internet for information about it, and from what I've read, they only live 40 years or so and they're roots are shallow and widespread. I've read that most trees have roots like that, so if it hasn't caused problems with cracking your walk or driveway, maybe all will be well. Hope that helps.

How do you save a tree with the full ring of the bark removed?
You don't. Actually, it is possible to save a girdledtree, but action has to be taken very quickly - though success is not guaranteed.
I went to an Ag school that had an infamous "Ginkgo Lane". Most of the trees were female and produced very smelly berries. Freshman were made to walk down Ginkgo Lane while crossing from one side of campus to the other. One year, someone girdled the trees. The trees were saved by grafting - taking strips of bark and creating bark bridges across the gap. I don't know the exact method, but the school had excellent Horticulture and Ornamental Horticulture departments. See Related Links. Lets get real here. It is possible to bridge graft a ringed tree but it is not practical for the amateur,if it is a mature tree the recovery time will be long. If it is a young tree it would be quicker to replant. This it the trouble with too much theory. The University of Life reigns supreme.

How do you rid citrus tree leaves of black powder?
Controlling plant-sipping insects and their ant bodyguards, hosing with mild soap and warm water, and pruning are ways to rid citrus tree leaves of black powder. Sooty mold, the black powder in question, establishes where garden pests such as aphids, leafhoppers, mealybugs, psyllids, soft scales and whiteflies excrete the excess nutrients, as honeydew, from internal plant fluids onto leaf surfaces, where the sooty mold fungus thereby is encouraged to grow.
Applying horticultural or neem oils against eggs and insecticidal soap against other stages, keeping the structure of the citrus tree in question open to air and sun, preventing tree limbs from coming into contact with structures that ants can use as walkways, and putting anti-ant sticky compounds at the bases of trees will solve the problem of ants that protect honeydew-makers, the fungi that grows on honeydew, and the plant-sippers that make honeydew.
