Compact fruit tree recommendations

I only have experience with apples and would recommend getting a couple of varieties to extend the harvest season. This is what I'd go for if starting from scratch: something early like Discovery or Scrumptious, then a mid-season like Greensleeves or Red Windsor and also a late, well storing variety like Red Falstaff, Fiesta or Honeycrisp. You could be eating apples from August to January! We have Scrumptious (first year cropping so not much fruit) and Red Falstaff (very prolific!). It's worth getting scab resistant varieties instead, our trees get it every year.

Here are some links with good information on varieties and rootstocks:
