Re: Understory Plantings, was list shutdown?

I'll bite....I have an area that is the border between my yard an my 
neighbor's yard which is in full shade and dry.  I originally planted 
arbor vitae along the border between the yards where is it sunny (my 
perennial bed is in front of the arbor vitaes) and viburnum 
trilobum-American Cranberry in the shaded areas.  Originally the 
viburnums got morning sun, but then my neighbor erected a 6 foot stockade 
fence which blocks athe morning sun and a pine tree, maple tree and apple 
tree block the sun the rest of the day.  Is there any thing I could use 
as a hedge as an extention to the arbor vitae hedge.  It doesn't have to 
be evergreen and actually because of the fence I don't really need it 
now.  BUT the winter winds are making the fence lean and I suspect is is 
only a matter of time before the fence comes down.  I was thinking of 
yews-hickii- or clethra (I know they need moisture- I will water) 
Any other suggestions?
I anm in zone 5.

Thanks,
Denise
