| I live in San Diego,ca. I have a spot where I would like to put some sort of fruit tree. The problem is the spot is close to a fence. The fence in at the south of the property. During winter months the fence will block most direct sunlight from reaching a small tree. The situation will be better during the summer months. What type of fruit trees would work in this situation? I have thought about going with a more mature tree but I would prefer to start small. |

| I've only been in the house since November so I can't tell you too much. I think it will get good sun in the summer and it will get good sun when it grows taller. I am just trying to get an overall plan for the yard. Ill start researching those fruits you mentioned. |

| I prefer suncalc.net for checking path of sun. You should post this in the fruit/orchards forum, you'll get more response.... When a tree is dormant it doesn't need ANY sun. So winter sun isn't an issue, however it will need sun when it leafs out... |
