Steve,Here in the sunny inland NW I know of an apricot tree that stands on 
the north of a house. The lower half is shaded from mid-day sun. Fruit is 
juicy, but nearly impossible to pick, since the tree's never been pruned. 
Whatever fruit I've gathered from it was within reach from the ground. 
Several places  I have read that the sort of pie cherry I have out back - 
English Morello - is tolerant of partial shade. It also does well with plenty 
of sun, as it is in the sunniest spot in my yard. Pie cherries of all kinds 
are hardier, less prone to diseases and smaller than sweet cherries. Enjoy 
that Evans/Bali.
