Essex,
United Kingdom 
What's more important: Morning sun or Afternoon sun? I'm thinking in terms of a dwarf peach tree which gets about an hour of sunlight from 7 to 8 am and then dashes of sunlight from 11 to 12 and then about 4 full hours of direct afternoon sun. It's flowered well and is coming into leaf. I got it in early march. Will it grow well and produce fruit in the future? Thank you.

Thanks and good it's only gets about an hour of morning sunlight and I protect it with a frost fleece and hand pollenate.

The problem with morning sun is if it has been frosty overnight and the peach is in blossom, the frost will damage the flowers. Secondly, I believe it is necessary to hand pollinate peaches, because they flower early in the year when there are limited pollinators about.
