What could I put in here
 

Hi all

I need your help with some suggestions for something to fill a gap in my border, you can see a pic of the gap here

It faces NW and the soil appears to be a sandy loam type affair and isn't particularly rich.

I'm after something that will grow to at least 4-5m and was thinking of a Hawthorn but believe they like a sunny position whereas this only really gets sun in the morning.

Any suggestions of what might work would be much appreciated

Thanks

I would use a plant that grows up the wall. The obvious one being Ivy
but there are many others.

Thanks but really want something free standing that will grow higher than the wall (actually a shed) and give privacy from the neighbours window

I would be tempted to put in an 8ft post then pull the berberis that
seems to be hiding partially behind the Pyracantha across to fill the
gap, in a year or so it will really fill the gap.
You could then also plant a climbing rose to grow up the post as well.
