I would certainly try a couple of Viburnums, Dave, if the one we have

not the only species in our garden here that appears to have been

Eddy.
Thinking about it, if you want a climber then
Lonicera henryi is an evergreen honeysuckle with glossy foliage and
golden-orange flowers
I've got it growing up into an oak tree, I've had up to 16 ft of
growth in a season,
