Apple trees in small spaces

Hello everyone,

I would like you to share your experiences with apple trees in small/tight spaces.I have a patch of soil 3.5ft wide along the block wall dividing my neighbor and I. On this soil patch, near the backyard gate I planted a Dorsett Golden on a 2' high mound for drainage. The tree is 18" from the block wall and 2" from the backyard gate fence. Both my home and my neighbors home are single story homes, so a 10' tall tree at this location should get full sun. Currently, the tree will only get 4-6 hours of sun in summer.

What do yall think? Will this location work, or was this a terrible idea?
