When i say "by" im talking about 3ft from a wall
Couple friends told me any airlayered, cherimoya , and wax apples are fairly safe. So i just want to see some of the experts could chime in.
Like always thanks ahead of time

I have a kishu mandarin growing 18” from a cinderblock wall. Its been there for 5 years. Its made it through a couple brutal heatwaves including the one in 2018 where it got to 115.
Tried apples along the same wall and they really struggled.
I planted a fig this spring and its growing well but it hasn't experienced a hot summer.

A walled-in area can really prevent many chill hours that would help something like an apple or plum. Things that don't require chill would be good options.
