Any suggestions?
In the UK, apples. There are so many to choose from.
Also depending on your soil blueberries. One of ours has particularly nice red stems and leaves for much of the year. Note that apparently you'll have more success if you mix different varieties.
Don't bother with pears or cherry if you want fruit.

Look at columnar trees (eg: https://www.chrisbowers.co.uk/supercolumns.php), you should be able to border your garden with several varieties and can add in plums etc. Remember if you have more 5 trees its and orchard not a garden.

My garden (about 4mx4m) was planted with a load of Cypress trees along the borders (probably about half a dozen per side). Seems pretty excessive and not very colourful so we'll be getting rid of them at some point.
Would ideally like something that we can eat and also look nice or things that will attract bees, butterflies, etc.
Any suggestions?
