Depends on how much sun the area gets and how exposed it is, but Passionflowers would be good. Or Jasminum stephanense. I do have a fondness for Clematis macropetala - it's not as fussy as the others. And Solanum jasminoides.. All good plants.

I take it that you dont want to try re-Buding it with a nice/rare apple variety so that you could have fruit as well as other plants growing up the trunk !
When Santa's about, just hoe-hoe-hoe
