follow up work in progress

Got all the plants and trees in yesterday, got most of the trees in the ground. Couldn't figure out where 2 of them should go so I'll be doing those by hand later.
These are mostly mocked up so I can figure out where to plant them. Let me know your thoughts.
A lot of overgrowth, other things to clean up in the background. Wood chips are next and then next year we'll do it all over again until it's fully covered!
Looks like I can only upload one picture with the post so I'll throw more in the comments.
Oh yeah we're working with an arborist. So we've had to cut down 3 apple trees that were grown before we moved here. They were pretty huge and not taken care of, and had Apple scab that we couldn't get under control.
There's a crab apple here too that is slowly dying from the same thing. That will eventually get replaced as well.
It's crazy how resistant native plants and trees are to these diseases. That's a big motivator to keep it local.
I've never had a pawpaw fruit but from what I've read about them I'm willing to grow a few. Our yard has plenty of shade with more to come so we should be able to get them going in the back at least.
