   Some time ago I asked for suggestions of fruit that would grow in shade 
and didn't get any answers that I could use.  Since then I've been 
experimenting and learned that Sambucus canadensis does very well in shade. 
It produces more in open sunlight but isn't a slouch in the shade either. 
Most of mine are about 10' north of a line of maple trees  and do get peeks 
of sunlight depending upon how the maple leaves blow in the wind.  A few of 
my elderberry bushes are north of (under) White Pine and Spruce and do get 
just a bit of direct sunlight about an hour before sunset.  All are quite 
productive.
