    Also, remember that it's not just the height and width you've got to consider, it's also the spread of the roots under the ground. 4 trees are too many I think in that situation.

    It's often said that the roots spread as far out as the height of the tree but I believe that's not true for all trees. Cherry trees also have a tendency to sucker (throw out new shoots around the base).
