Lilac Syringa meyeri 'palibin' Cut back after flowering. Sunny spot. Soil various -
First off as said by others leave the uprights as they are at the moment. If you remove them now you will probably end up with silver leaf. this summer you will get a lot of water shoots from the larger cuts, when this happens let them get to about 12inches then tie them down so they are pointing towards the ground. this will reduce the wood bud forming and increase the fruit bud forming this will reduce the vigor of the new growth. you will kneed to do this to manage/ control the tree. next winter start removing the strong upright growth by about 50%. then remove the rest the following winter. do you have any other apple trees in your garden, you will kneed some for pollination. the original frame work of your tree was called delayed open centre.

The cherry looks like prunus 'autumnalis' with shot blast. Not a lot you can do except crown reduction. The Crab Apple could be John standish not sure from picture. take a look at the graft union and root plate, it's been a wet year may be to much water. how well drained is the ground. not fire blight

Thank you all for the replies. seems to be common in some places but not so in others. I did think I had something rare but obviously not.

Tony don't do that. ignore the few for the sake of the many. your doing good work and kindly sharing it. you will be surprised how many people appreciate what you do and share. You wont have to look far for a research site
