Fruit Trees

So today I put in place some posts and wires along the wall of my back garden for my fruit trees. I spotted some in Aldi last week, so I picked up 2 pears (conference and beurre hardy), 2 apples (braeburn), a cherry (morello) and a plum (opal).
Im having a go at training them. 1 of the apples and both pears as cordons, the 2nd apple as an espalier, the plum and cherry as fans. Its my first attempt at doing this so lets hope they grow. Although at €5 per tree it wont the much of a loss if I kill them!
