Hedge?

What to plant along the property line?

started

The wall runs more or less northwest/southeast.  We´ve never met the neighbor and have no idea of his plans.

more complete

What won´t undermine the wall or shade our side too much, but will screen and also provide something useful?

Espaliered fruit
Blueberries or soft fruit
Hazel
Grapes
Roses
Lilac
something else?

  1. It all depends what you want from it - privacy or produce? Maybe hazel could provide both giving you hazel sticks, nuts and opportunity to coppice regularly. Fruit bushes would be difficult to harvest next to a wall.
