    Canker.

    Cut tree out, it may help reduce spread.

    Common in ash.

    I would seek advice from someone who knows about tree disease. If this truly is Bacterial Ash canker (pseudomonas syringae), you may cause a spread to other wounded trees if very strict hygiene is not employed during the disposal of these ones. And the canker wont kill the trees. If infected by micro fungi such as Apple Canker, it may well result in die-back of stems later.

    If you leave them in place, you may do less damage in the longer run, and the canker will create some habitat for wildlife which, in a large woodland might be called "Giving back to nature".

    Personally, I would wait but WATCH VERY CLOSELY..

    Hope this helps.

    Just looking at your original photo, you seem to have had something happen to some local trees that forced their growth off about 30 degrees from the vertical that seems to have happened to the infected tree also. Am I wrong?

    What's your stocking density there? Is that a 1- or 2- acre site?

    Forked with early frost and then shaped?
