How long do you wait?

I created this thread in 2016. I have removed more fruit trees since then.

Removing fruit trees: what and why?

I am contemplating removing my Vandalay and Danube cherry trees for two years now. Danube is very non productive. Vandalay has a serious rot and cracking problem. I could graft them over to other varieties but I am about to have it with cherry trees. Too much work with little return. Just would like to hear from you. If you have removed fruit trees, what were they and why? Maybe, your input could save some of us a headache and a heartache.
