Default Will they fruit?

I just received some TC plants that I'm planning to pot up until they've grown decent corms, but I'm trying to figure out where exactly I want to put them, once they're a bit bigger. My first choice location is along the east side of our house (right side of the picture below), where they'll be shaded in the afternoon and where I have a little room, but here are my concerns:

- They will likely only get a few hours of direct sun, with strong indirect (skylight) sun the rest of the day.
- They will be confined to a rather narrow strip of soil beside a concrete sidewalk.
- They will be subject to a fair bit of wind at times (the Santa Ana winds tend to funnel down this pathway.)

I was hoping to plant a Manzano, an Ice Cream, and perhaps others at this location. Anyone have thoughts on whether they're likely to do well enough to fruit under these conditions?
