Several trees giving edible fruit are recommended in the separate discussion on shade trees which you can see here.

The best of both worlds is an apricot or peach.  They will grow almost 1m per year and with judicious training you will have both shade and fruit. David

 I have gardened in sub-tropical Florida, maritime UK, continental Europe and the Mediterranean basin, France. Of the 4 I have found that the most difficult climate for gardening is the latter.
