I want to plant some fruit alongside a concrete, east-facing wall. The
site is reasonably well protected as it is behind the house and the

Will cordon apples grow there despite having direct sunlight only in
the morning? Or would something like a row of rasperries do better? I
don't want to plant sour cherries which I am told will even grow on a
north-facing wall.

My parents had a peach tree on the east-facing wall of our house, and
the house was on a north facing hill. They had reasonably good crops
from what I remember.
