Fruit Trees for Part Shade (forum)

rob.paul32 starts with ...
I previously purchased a dwarf tangello and a dwarf mandarin from Daley's. These are currently in the ground along a south facing fence and don't get a lot of sun at the moment, so are not growing well. I am going to put these in pots on a north facing fence to hopefully help them.

The area along the south facing fence will then be empty, can anyone recommend fruit trees for part shade in Melbourne. I was hoping for a nectarine or apricot, but have read that goji berries do well in part shade also.

Thanks,

Rob

How about blueberries? They aren't exactly trees, though some can get to 2m tall. They seem to do well with little sun.

My white sapote only gets some morning sun and fruits reasonably well. I grew it from seed - I'm sure a grafted one would do better.

Also, see post 'Bosworth lychee'. Sounds like it might be suitable for your situation?
