I just planted parsimmon, bosc pear, white beach, lisbon lemon, lime, calamondin. I have room for another 3-4 more trees.
I am thinking about a self fruiting cherry, fuji apple, white nectarine, plum.
Would someone give me recommendation on what kind i should choose for the trees i mention above. Thanks so much

Your USDA zone and whether you want an early, mid, or late season harvest will impact your cherry selection... So will diseases and pests in your area and any agricultural restrictions. Which kind of cherry will also depend on whether you want sour (baking) cherries or sweet (fresh munching) cherries. Or cherries to make wine or liqueur. And then there is the dwarf vs standard decision...

I like Montmorency and Stella cherries.

Have fun!!!

Thanks Graythumb
I decided not to grow a cherry tree. I just bought a jujube li, fuji apple and nectarine jay.
I hope I chose the rite kind
