Default elderberry in salty soil?

Anybody know whether an elderberry plant can tolerate salty soil?

I have an area near the driveway, about 2 feet by 4 feet, which has
nothing but dirt and rocks. It gets a lot of road salt draining into
it, in the winter. I'd like to put something in it, which will be
between 3 and 20 feet tall.

Will an elderberry do well? If not, what do you recommend?

Thank you for all answers!
