Orchard Trees

There are a few orchard trees that we need to get planted. It could take some years before certain trees begin to bear very well. The longer we wait to get these in, then the longer it will be before we can enjoy the fruits (and nuts) of our labor! For starters:

Honey Crisp apple,and I would like to try Nova Spy apple,andSundance apple,
Walnuts (Carpathian Walnut, or Heartnut looks like a good possibility...eliminating the need for a Pecan and any other walnut maybe. I will look for the variety 'Walters' Read this article),
Hardy Pecan,
Hardy Almond (Read this article Are the almond and apricot different varieties of the same tree? I always thought the almond was developed from a peach!),
Elberta Peach,
Seedless Persimmon ( Fuyu Jiro Persimmon or Hachiya Persimmon look interesting if I cannot find a seedless),
a Sweet Cherry...
