'''Schisandra chinensis or Five-flavor berry ''' is a deciduous woody vine and it is native to forests of Northern China and the Russian Far East. 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.

== Description Uses== Its Chinese name comes from the fact that its berries possess all five basic flavors: salty{{Uses|liver disease}}, {{Uses|high cholesterol}}, sweet{{Uses|pneumonia}}, sour{{Uses|coughs}}, pungent (spicy){{Uses|asthma}}, and bitter.Plants require conditions of moderate humidity and light{{Uses|sleep problems}}, together with a wet{{Uses|tiredness}}, humus-rich soil.
