I think you could create a mini orchard on your front lawn, but how big your trees will get depends on what rootstock they were grown on. Do they still have their labels on? Basically, standard fruit trees grow to 25 ft tall and as wide, semi dwarf grow to 15 ft and as wide, then dwarf fruit trees usually grow to a max of 10 x 10 feet. I only know this because I recently bought a dwarf Apple tree, as my garden is far too small for a standard fruit tree.

It looks like a spacious area, so you could add more trees, but careful what you choose as some are huge. A nice smaller tree is the Mountain Ash (Sorbus) which has lovely leaves and gorgeous berries in the autumn which the birds love. Laburnum is a small tree with beautiful hanging yellow flowers in late spring. Acers (Japanese Maples) are smaller trees in stunning shades, but they prefer dappled Shade. My favourite tree of all time is the beautiful Himalayan Birch (Betula) which has stunning white bark on the trunk and branches. The multi-stemmed one is particularly attractive. It is a biggie though - 50 ft tall x 25 ft wide. This may not be what you’re thinking, but once established they don’t take much upkeep. Heres some pics

Thank you so much Forza :)

Lovely selection here. I had both the Sorbus and the Betula in our old house, like you I absolutely love the bark. I also like the look of the viburnum but I think from memory is poisonous to pets?

I love your idea of a mini orchard and will check the labels on my trees.

Hubby is not sure about mowing around them, could we edge around them maybe? Will have to check what sort of tree our fruity ones are.
