When? Noticed my local council have been putting in some new trees recently, is now the best time?

I want to plant a small apple tree, it must not grow too big as I have limited space and have had subsidence issues in the past due to trees, any recommendations?


Also I planted a plum tree two years ago, first year I got 3 plums, last year none, am I doing something wrong? Should I be doing something to encourage more plums? It is currently about 6 feet tall.
