I like fruit tree espaliers but I'm going to go off and review the link you provided right away for some more ideas.

She discussed their use in a Craftsman-style garden, but showed us examples in other situations, including something planted along a wall with what looked like less than a 6-inch wide slot at the side of a driveway.<br /><br />In particular, if you want something trained along a fence, this could be a good solution.<br /><br />Anyway, the plant list can be found at http://www.nbs.csudh.edu/biology/projectsound/habitat/default.shtml<br /><br />In case you haven't heard, the Project Sound website is up and running, and there are a number of plant lists. On the linked page, scroll down to the "Plants by Growth Form" section.<br /><br />I've been rethinking my own choice for a narrow space by my front porch; I thought a vine would be good (Distictis buccinatoria--not a CA native, but drought tolerant), but the vine is being troublesome-- it takes less than a month to extends its long "arms" halfway across my porch! Perhaps a shrub would be easier for me to manage.KarenHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818152905804147177noreply@blogger.com
