Listing description
Schisandra
chinensis (common name: magnolia-vine,
Chinese magnolia-vine, schisandra),
whose fruit is called magnolia berry or five-flavor-fruit, (from Chinese wǔ wèi zi) is a deciduous
woody vine native to forests of Northern China and the Russian Far East.
Detailed
description
It
is hardy in USDA Zone 4.
The plant likes some shade with moist, well-drained soil. The species itself is
dioecious,
thus flowers on a female plant will only produce fruit when fertilized with
pollen from a male plant. However, a hybrid selection titled 'Eastern Prince'
has perfect flowers and is self-fertile. Seedlings of 'Eastern Prince' are
sometimes sold under the same name, but are typically single-sex plants.
Uses
Its
berries are used in traditional medicine,
where it is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs.
Chemical constituents include the lignans schisandrin,
deoxyschisandrin,
gomisins,
and pregomisin.[7]In Korean, the berries are known as omija (hangul – five flavours). The cordial drink made from the berries is called omija cha, meaning "omija tea"; see Korean tea. In Japanese, they are called gomishi. The Ainu people used this plant, called repnihat, as a remedy for colds and sea-sickness.
Interest in limonnik (S. chinensis) in Russia was associated with ethnopharmacological investigations by Soviet scientists on berries and seeds.
