Default East facing wall

My garden has a long east facing rendered wall, about 50m long. The
prevailing wind is generally from the west. Would it be a suitable wall
to grow fruit trees against or can anyone suggest a suitable climber to
cover this wall.

TIA, Robert

Default East facing wall

Such a wall will get the full "benefit" of any east wind that does blow.
Depending on your location, that wind could be direct from a Russian
winter. You might lose blossom or something else vital to whatever you
plant there.

Also, it will have a significant rain shadow.

It may be quite warm in summer and less windy than on the other side.
