2. At different times I've had a few fruit trees

Currently I have none, but will probably plant one or more in the early spring.

The last fruit trees I had were one each of two different varietals of peach trees which produced at different times. At their peak I had way more peaches than I knew what to do with even after culling about 2/3rds of them when they were marble sized. Even with canning and making every peach dish I could think up, I was still giving away most of them. I suspect the stone fruit trees are all going to produce over about a 3 month period even if you get varietals that produce at different times. That’s going to be a lot of work harvesting everything and dealing with them. I’m guessing with that many you plan on selling them at a farmers market. Otherwise you’ll easily be overwhelmed.

Cherry trees are a lot of fun and might be worth considering. It’s rather nice to pick and eat them immediately while they are producing.
