    Hi Toni,

       I am having the exact same thing happening to my Reliance. Last 
year I had a bumper crop on my tree (5 years since I planted it).
    This year it has about 12 blooms on the bottom branch with a few 
leaves; the rest of the tree looks dead.  However,
    during the previous winter  (2007/2008) there was so much snow that 
it broke a main lateral leaving a huge crack - this
    no doubt did not help matters.
