So I've planted. Here are pics on how the trees arrived, close up of one. Then I painted them to prevent sun burn. Then planted.

Pics of planting.

My berms are approx. 175 feet long. I have soaker hoses going along them for now, since it is July.

Your swales look similar to mine. Made with front bucket on tractor?

Sometimes the answer is nothing

Haha yup. Total tractor swales!!! Front bucket and then going over them with a back blade.

All kinds of trees. About 20 verities of fruit trees. Peach, plum, apple, and pear. They were sold out of cherry so I'll get them later. I left spots to plant them. Also planted some blackberry and walnut. Hoping to get more berries going as well.
