Well if you want something a little different, why not think of some of

the
"Tree" cotoneaster's


Already have a cotoneaster training up a part of the fence and am not too
keen on the plant!


That is just one species of cotoneaster - there are others! Try also
Viburnums.

I do want something that can be trained similar to a tree or where the lower
branches can be cut out to lift the plant and bring a little light to plants
underneath and that has foliage that won't blend into my green fencing!


Amelenchier? Bronze young foliage, very light foliage, good flowers in
spring, berries in autumn. Don't know how it'd feel about the site (I'm
not casting doubt, I just don't know)
