Tree that needs pruning at the rear of the building is a Lime (Tilia) of some sort. Now is the time to do this, so could be done at the same time as planting.

Site 4 – Uplowman School
5 x Apple on MM106 Pitmaston Pineapple, Oaken pin, Adams Pearmain, Dons Delight, Charles Ross
1 x pear on Pyrodwarf-QuinceA Concorde
To be trained as oblique cordons.
We have the offer of some apples on a weaker rootstock, M26. These could be used and planted slightly closer, thus allowing the planting of 6 apples. I am not 100% happy with all the ones available from Halberton and want to check what varieties Adam's Apples has on this rootstock, but I think it would be better to go for 5 on 106.
I will also be happy to give you and the school a few free hours one weekend to get this site properly prepared for planting
