Default Re: shade tolerant fruiting plants?

Quote:
I'm looking for fruiting plants that are shade tolerant and not too tall. I have a spot in the back of my yard that is shaded during summer by the neighbor's trees, but is fairly sunny in winter, when the angle of the sun drops. I'm at a loss for something that will reliably produce fruit in this situation. Any suggestions?
How about Loquats? Most of ours are in at least partial shade, as well as on the North side of the house.
When we were shipping them to the Gulf, to replace shrubs/bushes/hedges lost in Katrina, some of them were grown as a hedge, underneath taller "cousins" for a fast-growing windbreak, they did OK being shade-bound for the most part.
