Fruit Tree planning

I'm considering how and where to plant a/some fruit trees on my newly acquired allotment. Here's the current plan



There's currently a slope at the top edge, which only encroaches into the plot on the line shown. I'm thinking of putting a fruit cage as shown (It'll be made from scaffolding - daughter's boyfriend runs a scaffolding company - one STRONG cage  )

Alternative positions seem to be either in front of the shed (but then it would shade the fruit or, cordon trained across the leftmost border, where the path is. Slight problem there as there is a rampant patch of horseraddish there .... thought that might compete with the trees?

Any suggestions welcome.

The fruit cage is more for bushes than trees - I've planted raspberries, blackberries and gooseberries so far,  the trees will likely live outside - I'm thinking of trying a cordon grown cherry in the cage. Parakeets are a nuisance where we are (as are wood pigeons)

We're fortunate in that we are the southernmost corner plot, so we have about as much sun as possible (there are trees but far enough away not to affect us much.

My current thinking for the trees is where I've been growing crops on the left hand of the pic, using cordon lines as a border.

Bear in mind that trees will compete with your ground veg / fruit for water and nutrients, so you want to avoid growing them in the same bed as your regular crops, particularly those which are annuals and thus require regular digging over / out.

Another consideration, though, is that if you go for the dwarfing rootstocks, you'll struggle to get underneath them to do anything anyway, as their branches will be quite low.

That's one of the reasons I like the idea of limiting to less than 2m otherwise someone is going to get a lot of shade.
