"3-4 hours of good sun" is not much. I presume this is the maximum summer sun? Fruit trees won't fruit much with less than minimum 6 hours full sun.
Having said that, most soft fruits can handle less.
I know nothing about roots and sewers, so I'll leave that one alone!
Is the ash a must-keep? You might have to get rather pragmatic if you want to grow a major part of your diet...

over your septic use dwarf trees, and best to put them off to the side rather than directly over the line in case it has to be redug..maybe stagger them on either side..
choose the fruit that is best suited to your zone (check catalogs) and that is best suited to your diet..something you love to eat.

There I go, hinting again ; ). By soft fruit, I mean raspberries, currants and gooseberries, among others.
Be aware that I'm not taking your climate into account...
I think sun , or lack of, is a real issue if you want apples or other 'conventional' fruit, and you might need to consider unusual fruit or options for improving your sun.

has anyone had any luck with 3-in-1 trees?
hardly ever leave the farm- don't want to- the internet saves me a million road, air and sea miles, provides at least 25 extra lifetimes, connects to friends who can stay on the subject, and gives me access to the brightest people conscious......
