bettydee, Thanks very much for the advice. The leaves are rather pitiful looking aren't they. Actually, we've been having lots of rain and when I checked on it today I noticed that most of the leaves fell off. It's disappointing to hear that these specimens are grafted. If so, I'm pretty sure that one of them has been completely taken over by the understock. I'm attaching some photos.

1. Here you can see that most of the leaves have fallen off. (Compare to first photo I posted.)
