If it is an ash, it will have compound leaves, typically 5 to 11 leaflets. Can we pics of the leaves, and branches - closeups?

Looks to me to be some sort of fungal decay canker.

Maybe it's too gutless a tree for AZ.

thats no ash, porr photos, leaf look a bit like Judas tree, the bark is odd and may well be cankerous but i would expect canker to be more knarly and curly, these could be rapid growth splits though (force flow)

can you get better images?

i take it this is Autralia? drought?

I think if it were growth striations then that side of the tree wouldn't be so dead looking but booming on. That is either a bacterial or fungal infection IMHO.

Need closeup pics of leaves. Leaves may be compound with several leaflets per 'leaf'. Pls include a whole leaf, and several leaves on a branch,.
