Schisandra Chinensis is a deciduous woody vine native to forests of Northern China and the Russian Far East. 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. Schisandra is a woody vine with numerous clusters of tiny, bright red berries.
There are two similar species of Schisandra - Schisandra Chinensis and Schisandra Sphenanthera. Both have been used interchangeably in Chinese medicine for centuries where they are known as Wu-wei-zi which translates as ” Five taste fruit” - sour, sweet, bitter, warm, and salty. All of these five elements come across deliciously in the aroma of this co2 extract of the dried Sphenanthera berries.
