severe pruning for a service berry?

15 years ago

the past 4 or 5 years it gets rust, I tried spraying, and cleaning up to no avail. The tree is too tall, I cannot cut or spray the top. I just looked the fruits are swelling up and will soon be covered with the orange powder, it also has aphids. Would a severe pruning this fall get rid of these plagues, or would it kill the tree. I don't know if they can take it, and if it will sprout back.

I think I should do the same for the ninebark as well. IT has aphids, and the stems have swelling that looks like the rust infected service berry stems.
