Re: Benchgraft anyone???
8 inches a year is optimal growth. I wish my trees would be satisfied with 8 inches. On seedling and standard size rootstock on average, unfertilized ground, they can easily put on 2 or 3 feet per well-exposed branch. These are the trees that are bearing fruit well.

Price tags usually do not have rootstock info unless it was a really thoughtful nursery
I would just observe for a while and see what happens. Also, you might try thinin out the tree's fruit by 1/3 ish to try and increase fruit size and quality.

Re: Nonproducing apple tree
Do your other trees flower at the same time as the braeburn? Are you positive it is a dwarf?
I would graft it over instead of cutting it down either way!

Re: CANKER? w/ Pictures
It looks like those could have been wounds from canker. Canker will show as a green, mildewish looking stuff on your bark. It will kill wood above the infection as it cuts off the flow of sap.
