About My Edible Backyard

I have 2.5 acres on a prime northerly facing block that I bought 7 years ago. The trees I planted then are starting to bear fruit. There are many trees I don't know, as I have lost the lables and can't remember what i bought. But whetever I (don't) do: all trees seem to grow and do fine.
