My garden seems devoid of red autumn colour. Woudl there be any problem
with
growing a Virginia creeper through various trees (bird cherry and plum)
and
a hawthorn/mixed hedge? TIA

None at all, the best for the Job would be either Parthenocisssus
quinqefolia (true Virginia creeper) or in your neck of the woods
Parthenocissus henryana is a lovely plant.

I have a big conifer which has died off on the north side. I took a
Virginia Creeper cutting from my daughter's plant and planted it at the base
of the tree on the north side. The tree now has beautiful foliage where it
was originally dead. it has just started turning this week and looks
fantastic.

Go for it.
