capital pear trees along northern fence

We are looking at planting a row of capital pears along our back fence. Our backyard faces north and the trees would be in full sun all summer when the sun is high, however over the winter when the sun is lower the fence itself will block some of the sun to the base of the trees. I'm just wondering if they will still grow ok and if it would be alright to plant them now or should we wait until after winter when the sun is higher again?

They will grow fine, however, be careful planting medium sized trees along fence lines. Your neighbours may not want them as much as you.

I wouldn't do it on an urban block (exceptions are always found) myself, a rural one though would look amazing.
