I originally planted a E. silverberry and a E. quicksilver very close together.
Many years later I decided I didn't like the silverberry, so I removed it and found the quicksilver happily growing in the middle of it.
It had turned itself into a standard, and also managed to twist its stems rather attractively.
It does try and send out shoots from the main stem, but I rub them off or cut them off.
So I don't see why you couldn't do the same with your silverberry

The flower pic was from a couple of years ago. They have a lovely honey scent
