Im moving to a new house in a village with a smallish garden.

I want to grow fruit as I like trees and it sounds rewarding etc

I figure on apple but which is gowing to be the easiest etc for a
newbie. Obviously oranges may not be realistic

Apples don't pollinate themselves - you need two varieties which flower
at the same time. Or a 'family tree' which has two varieties grafted on
to the same rootstock, but you won't get such a choice.

Same applies to pears.
