Gooseberries (being denizens of the sub-hedgerow environment) will also
grow in the shade, but prefer a bit of sun. You'll need to net the
morellos if you grow a tree - the blackbirds will have them, otherwise.

No they won't! They will try a red (unripe) one, shudder, move on to the
next red one, and so on until you have a single peck mark in every
cherry, and not a single one actually eaten.
