Probably not, but there are elderberries native to the east which would
probably serve equally well.

The Pacific Red Elderberry grows rapidly & does superbly in shady spots.
They can grow ten or fifteen feet tall in just a couple years if you let
them, but they are also easy to prune to smaller sizes without looking
butchered.

Is this suitable for central Ohio?
