2) Some fruit trees. You don't need many of each species, no more than i
tree of each variety and draw your net widely. Apple, pear, oriental
pear, plums, damson, cherry, medlars and the old fruit types. Plant then
at quite a wide spacing and remember you can always cut down any you
find you don't like. When established you could graze with sheep or pigs
underneath, by then (a few years) you will probably know more what you
are about.

ISTR pollination is an issue with fruit trees. Something about flowering times and compatibility. There is a *William Lamb* apple produced by one of my forebears but I wouldn't recommend it. V. large, very soft cooker/eater.
