Can I make a suggestion?

Google “espaliered” trees. Go show it to your neighbour and explain to him that you want to block the wall, but not go higher and you would like to espalier some apple or quince trees.

Build a frame in front of his wall and then do the espalier and make apple or quince jelly in the future!!

I get you want to block the fence but your neighbour doesn’t want to lose solar access or get leaves.

An espalier might be a solution.

We did have a bushes that followed the border of the land, but they had to be removed for his wall the be built, and when we replanted them, they all died.
