After nearly ten years, I'm planting the last wall in the walled garden.

You can see the garden on
http://www.go-self-sufficient.com/photowalledg.htm

You can see the north wall at the far right, the inner side has the
peaches apricots, and sweet cherries.

The outer north facing surface has been cleared of vegetation and I have
planted three damsons (that I know do well on a north wall) and I have
two
more spaces.

My problem is that makes five different damsons and two pairs Morellos
and
Nabelas already.

It there another sharp cherry that would do OK on this wall? Is there
any
other fruit that might thrive? I'm stumpted.

Thanks

I thought you would like to know that after much discussion a Japanese
Quince has won.

Japanese quince is Chaenomeles japonica or C. speciosa of which there are
many named varieties. The best thing might be to Google and see once
closest in colour to what you want or better yet, go some nurseries now as
they're flowering.
Japanese quince is NOT Cydonia which is the 'true' quince with very large
fruits, making eventually a large tree. It's a beautiful tree but it is
quite rarely seen nowadays whereas Japanese quince or Chaenomeles are seen
all over the place. If you Google image search on both you'll see the
differences.

Yes, well done, that is the one, see reply above as well - thank you.
