I found this growing, just now. The app on my phone gave chokecherry, deerberry & several types of Blueberry as the result. There were always chokecherries back here & I attempted to scattered seed of the other two the last couple of years, which seems to have proved thus far unsuccessful. But, for such a small specimen, the leaves are about twice the size of those of the plants I know from memory are chokecherry. I tried a result on a different young plant & it retained chokecherry in the results, but not the other two. I know it's hard to tell from the pic off my crappy phone, but the leaves are very finely toothed.

On a chokecherry there is 2 tiny little glands at the base of the leaf.

I only just got a chance to check as I was trying to get my bare root Skunk cabbages out. This plant does not have any sort of structures between the leaves & the stem, so hopefully its either the deerberry or blueberry. Thank you for the tip. I'd just about given up hope that any of those were ever going to grow.
 
It's hard to fight evil. The little things, like a nice sandwich, really helps. Right tiny ad?
