It’s a good question. My shallons are in quite a bit of shade in soil pH 5.5 or so, and fruit really well. A high bumble bee population pollinates them. Maybe they were first brought to the UK (sevreal hundred years ago) as seed which happened to be from good fruiters, and then got propagated from those through the years.
