I have a spot around the back of my house that gets sun till noon or a little after. What kind of dwarf fruit tree would do well?

I don't know about dwarf bit this next winter I'm planting figs, Satsumas, possibly some blueberries
and muscadines.
OH! and cutting down about a dozen Crepe Myrtles.

The most likely to succeed is pear, almost certainly. They grow like weeds. I’d go with Bartlett for eating, Kieffer for deer.

Satsumas are pretty cold tolerant. With a little protection during the super cold nights, it should be fine.

25 degrees and colder will kill the tree.
I’d plant a few blueberry bushes as they seem to get by ok with a little neglect and unless you feel like pruning, thinning and spraying every year I wouldn’t bother with peaches or apples.

If you paint the stump with glyphosate concentrate, immediately after cutting, you can kill them.

Satsumas can survive temps as low as 12 degrees. Mine has survived a 14 degree night and many nights of high teens plus an ice storm. The leaves shed pretty heavy after the ice storm but it was fine.

I've never seen a Satsuma north of Montgomery. I'm not saying they can't survive with some care, but I'd rather try more cold-tolerant trees.

There used to be a commercial satsuma industry south of New Orleans but several back to back cold winters destroyed the groves years ago. They are cold tolerant but I wouldn't try one North of Florida.

we had a Bartlett pear tree in our backyard in SE Alabama that got huge - if you plant one, cut it back to keep it "dwarf" sized ... but no doubt, they're very good eating pears ... my paw-paw had a walk-thru muscadine "arbor" made out of chicken wire ... i remember as a kid riding thru it on my bike & eating them inside of it in the late afternoons ... he also had a massive fig tree next to his carport ...
