Maybe plants that lose their leaves in wintertime, eg grapes on a
trellis,
over a dark wall...

Often done in some parts of the country. Of course in the desert
they can't
grow a big oak tree.

Live Oaks and Mexican Blue Oaks do well where I am in El Paso, Texas.
Where they are legal, the classic shade tree in the desert is the
Mulberry.
