It is a small, young tree which has borne fruit five seasons in a row. There was fruit on it this year. The branches with the fruit are dead, dry, and break right off. The rest of the tree seems to be surviving.
There are a few reasons why a portion of a tree would be dying off. Here is an article that will go over the most common reasons:

pear tree that bore no fruit and two plum trees that have little yields ie 8 plums on each tree. They are more than five years old possible as much as 20 years old. How can I encourage them to bear fruit. The trees had pollen in spring and have had plenty leaf growth but poor fruit yields
I would, first, test the soil to make sure that the nutrient content and pH are within range.

Once those are in range, your trees should be producing again, given that they aren't too old for production.
And one pear tree.
This can depend on the exact infection at hand, and your photos did not come through, unfortunately. In most cases, a general fungicide, and making sure that the soil has time to dry out between waterings will take care of the issue.

I am espaliering a 2 year old apple tree that wasn’t grown for espalier. As a result I don’t have any low branches, the first cordon tier occurs at almost 3’ up and the way it’s growing I believe I can only create 2 tiers. I’d actually love to send some pics and get input on how I might be able to achieve 3 but that’s a different question.
At first, it will not produce as much. Over time, this will not be an issue, as it develops more branching.

They are all really gnarled which makes for a lot of extra work and waste when processing
Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage. There could be a number of issues, from nutrient and pH imbalances, to disease. Here are a few articles to help you test your soil:

One of my apple tree's leaves are turning brown and translucence. I can not find any thing on the branches or apples just the leaves. Also any help identifying what kind of apple trees I have would help.
It could be the fungal disease, apple scab. These articles should help:

I bought a barefoot apple tree in February and planted it right away. It has 6 different kinds.of apples on it and it has just now at end.of July sprouted some. Two of the.six are only ones to sprout the other four has dried back. What did I do wrong? Thanks Troy
It sounds like what happened is that your original tree is that your original died off. Then, the more vigorous rootstock. It is likely to produce after some time, but it will be much different than your intended tree. Here are some articles that will help:
