Vladimir,
yes, you are in much warmer and early maturing area, but those frosts that you have in April we have in May.
It is to regulate amount of blossoms on fruit trees and garden strawberries, but most of trees and berries survive these light frosts.
As for several varieties on one tree you should use varieties of close maturity terms like early and mid early or mid late and late. Sometimes we even graft pear on apple tree or graft cherry on plum tree or cherry to plum-cherry tree

I do not like more varieties on one tree. I do not like more varieties on one tree. The famous gardener, after experiencing this spring, wrote:
„In exceptionally favorable pollination conditions, the problem of more varieties with different fertility in one tree is pronounced. One variety is very much second variety is almost nothing“.¨
