Just what I was going to suggest. My currants in full sun do better than the ones in the shade, but I have some in light shade (high trees, dappled sunlight) that give some fruit every year.

Hello,

Think "Ribes"! Some will fruit in almost complete shade.

I built an arbor along the east side of my house with the intention to raise
raspberries, strawberries and some blue berries. So far the raspberries have
grown well (2 years) but have not produced one blossom or one raspberry. I am
sure there is a shade problem. The blue berries and strawberry plants were put
in this spring, so I am not too sure if these will fare any better. I am
wondering about other fruiting plants that might have a better chance in these
borderline light conditions. The area gets about 1/2 a day of sun (the house
shades the area in the afternoons), and the neighbor has some tall pines that
have some shading of the morining sun (these trees are abount 20-30 feet from
the arbor). Any suggestions or sucess stories would be appreciated. Otherwise my
wife will turn the whole area into a flower bed.

Thanks
