Hello, I have a NE wall on the side of my house which gets little (almost no) sun. Could I plant raspberries and blackberries against this wall? How would they do?

The will not make very much fruit, but you should get some. I have a shaded area where I am trying honey berries. The jury is still out since they are only 1 year old.

In my shady spot I got about a third of the fruit compared to a full run area. It varies by variety and the raspberries relatively did better production-wise than the blackberries.
