I new to the fruit tree scene. I have about 1/4 acre or so to use(approx 300x100ft) I am planning on 3-4 semi dwarf apples. A sour cherry for the front yard( since they are self fert) 2 sweet cherries, and 2 pears. There are many cedar trees near by. A large one in my back yard. I am looking for some recommendations on varieties. decease resistance, ease of care, ect.
