Are these trees planted too close together?

Sorry if this isn’t the right subreddit.

My mother planted a bunch of fruit trees in the past year, and I’m wondering if they need more space from each other. I know you can prune trees to be smaller and maybe plan around this kind of thing, but I’m a little concerned about the trees competing in the future and having some trouble. Just looking at the distances between them and imagining the full heights of the grown trees, it doesn’t seem like enough.

The trees were all planted within the past two years. If they are too close and we do need to move a few, are they too established?

I went and measured the distances between most of the trees and drew a diagram to try and show the layout. Here’s also a list from when I was noting the measurements in case that helps:

Panama: 2.82m from first pawpaw.

Pawpaw Tree: 2.07m from middle pawpaw, middle pawpaw 2.8m from next pawpaw.

Kensington Pride Mango: Up to 12 meters height. 4.46m from lower pomegranate, 3.93m from upper. 6.17m from star apple. 5.72m from Panama berry.

Dwarf Pomegranate: see distances listed from other trees

Dwarf Mulberry: 4.50m from pomegranate.

Star Apple Tree: see distances listed from other trees.

Pineapple Guava: 5.58 meters from star apple. 5.48 meters from chocolate sapote.

Pink Guava: Upper 2.66m from far pawpaw, 4m from middle pawpaw. 4.45m from Panama berry. Lower 6.12m from pomelo.

Chocolate Sapote: 3.11m from dwarf pomegranate. 5.83m from Panama berry. 4.92m from pawpaw.

Pomelo Tree: 6-13 meters height.

Measured from base to base. The ones that include expected height are from the trees still with tags.

I would also include a photo of the trees but Reddit says I can only include one attachment. Is there another way I can add another picture? I’m not very familiar with this website.

Thank you all in advance.
