It is the first time I hear an Apple tree has so many diseases 😞.
I only had it with a part of the elder. All on different places. I started bin cutting them all for some years, right above the ground. Some I removed. A part is now healthy after 4 years.
About the rest of your garden. You could try to plant herbs in between or around it (if you not already did so).
Already tried coffee grounds around the roots? I used that too (hard to get for me since I do not drink coffee).

I indeed plants my herbs in between my veggies. Since I started doing that, it's difficult to fill up our herb spiral, lol.
Never tried coffee grounds, for the exact same reason: we don't drink coffee 😆
I'm thinking about taking the apple tree out. I think it is way too far gone to be saved ...
What a pity, I wonder what the roots look like.

I'm still not sure whether to just trim it completely or take it out. If we do take it out, we'll probably just cut it above the ground. But I will try to take a look anyway
