What would you plant here? (pic)

Luv My Conifers
15 years ago

Along our 225'w x 6'h privacy fence we have some arbs (that have been there about 7 years now and are growing way too slowly), and in some places there are hemlocks and doug firs. In this pic you can see some Arborvitae, a Picea Omorika (serbian spruce), and some Peeping Rednecks (the Father&Son cultivar I believe). ;)

The Serbian has not been filling out or growing much at all since we put it in a few years ago, and because our township (and neighbors) won't allow fences over 6' high, we have no privacy here.

The disturbing event you see illustrated in the photo occurs much too often, and trust me these are NOT friendly neighbors unfortunately. :( So what would you plant there? We have clay/shale soil, which stays pretty damp back near the fence, except for very dry summers. The fence is to the north side of a line of huge, old sickly/slowly dying white pines, so there is not a lot of sun back there. Thanks for any ideas you can come up with!
