You gave yourself the best advice i think. I try just about everything that interests me… just because someone on here or elsewhere says you cant or it does this or that… isnt always true everywhere.
You will read alot of suggestions on what you must do or cant do…
Do what makes sense to you and then go with it.
The above pic is from 39th parallel nursery and orchard in Kansas…advertising a u-pick
Which is kind of what i try to do myself and my goal… except I-pick. Or let friends and neighbors.
I personally like Drews method of pruning for the most part. I dont need 500lbs of fruit per tree myself so smaller more managable trees work for me… but some folks want the opposite which is much easier to manage.
Using Dave Wilson techniques to keep trees small
If you are happy with your list then try them all… you can always delete or add something as you go.
I cant give any suggestions other than to be sure you have enough pollinators if you want to get fruit from flowers… and to be aware of pollination on things that you choose to plant. Also may think about bending some branches etc when the time comes. Final thought is the more trees you plant the more you will have to prune…
No matter how you look at it… its not work if you enjoy it.
