This discussion is specific to Westchester County, NY.
Euonymus alatus (Burning Bush) is prohibited in Westchester County, NY.
Wintercreeper is regulated in Westchester County.
From the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
"What is the difference between prohibited and regulated invasive species?
Prohibited invasive species cannot be knowingly possessed with the intent to sell, import, purchase,
transport or introduce. In addition, no person shall sell, import, purchase, transport, introduce or
propagate prohibited invasive species.
Regulated invasive species, on the other hand, are species which cannot be knowingly introduced into a free-living state, or introduced by a means that one should have known would lead to such an introduction, although such species shall be legal to possess, sell, buy, propagate and transport.
Look again, this discussion is in the Gardening forum, not limited to any specific geographical location.
Wow, why not give someone in Westchester county, NY plants suggestions which thrive in Iceland? Or what about plants selections that thrive in Brazil or Indonesia?
Just curious, though it's a bit OT: why put up the fence just to hide it? Why not just use hedges to begin with?
I would plant some soft evergreen on each side because you'd be surprised what will grow right into the fence, as stated multiple times above. I have damage to my fence from trying to remove a ROOT that grew around the bottom of the fence.

"Foliage is evergreen in warm winter climates, but semi-evergreen to deciduous in cold winter climates (USDA Zones 5 and 6) where leaves may turn yellow or leaves may drop or plants may die back to the ground."
If you don't mind risking a die back every couple of years, it's fine. We had one October snowstorm that was a shock to many plants. Thankfully, it doesn't happen too often.

Why give legal advice that may be pertinent to only a tiny fraction of the readers here? Making blanket claims that a certain plant is banned as if that was a universal truth is simply wrong. The OP's location has not been discussed.

Kokonutty I think since you came in late to the conversation you might have skipped over it but OP's location actually was discussed earlier on in the conversation, these are her posts about her location:

I did not zero in on the location as it is not in the OP's profile but did see the zone references which have nothing to do with political boundaries. Nonetheless this is an open forum so any reference to laws and other governmental regulations should reference those particulars rather than simply be stated quite generally or universally. Readers are concerned with a much wider scope than a single poster's situation.
