Hi

We have just taken down 7 conifers which was a nightmare trying to get
the stumps out, and had a new fence erected the fence is 21 feet long I
want something that will grow about 8 feet in height but nothing that
comes out to *bushy .

I had a long boarded fence, and strung it with wires, up which
cotoneaster and honeysuckle grew. Both were fairly trouble-free,
although I periodically cut the top off the honeysuckle.

You might also consider espallier fruit trees, depending on aspect.
They are a bit more work but provide food.

There are two houses up our street with grape vines against fences.
Our milder winters mean they have done far better than I expected.
