Most plants that require "full sun" need 6 to 8 hours of sun a day. Some
need more, but most fruit trees dont. My brother has beautiful roses and
grapes along his east facing wall. I am not familiar with the term cordon
apples, so I wont say for sure they will make it. Good luck. Dwayne

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
soil is fertile. The place is currently occupied by a variegated ivy.
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.
