I live in St. Paul and have grown some small fruits that do well in areas 
near trees as long as they get a few hours of sunlight a day. The most 
shade-tolerant are gooseberries and red and black currants.  They should bear 
well for you, but would do best if the weeds are kept down for at least a 
couple of feet around each plant. They will also need some irrigation should 
we have have a dry spell.
