Wu Wei Zi means "Five Taste Fruit." Due to the fact that Schisandra possesses all five of the classical "tastes" (sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and salty) and thus possesses the essence of all five of the elemental energies (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), Schisandra is respected as a health-providing tonic in the same class with Ginseng and Ganoderma.

 Schisandra is a woody vine with numerous clusters of tiny, bright red berries. It is distributed throughout northern and northeast China and the adjacent regions of Russia and Korea. The fully ripe, sun-dried fruit is used medicinally. It is purported to have sour, sweet, salty, hot, and bitter tastes. This unusual combination of flavors is reflected in schisandra's Chinese name wu-wei-zi, meaning "five taste fruit."

 The ripe fruit of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. (Chinese magnolia vine) or Schisandra sphenanthera Rehd. et Wils. (orange magnolia vine), a perennial deciduous woody vine of the family Schisandraceae. Native to east Asia, it is grown in mixed forests, especially on the margins, by streams and brooks, and usually on sandy soils in China, Russia,etc.

 The climber grows to about 9 m at a medium rate. It winds around the trunks of trees, covering the branches. It is in flower from April to May. The scented white, pink or yellow flowers are dioecious (individual flowers are either male or female, but only one sex is to be found on any one plant so both male and female plants must be grown if seed is required), and are followed by red berries (the fruits). The clusters of red fruit are the most ornamental trait. The plant will need some sort of support. Grow the plant in full sun except in warmer climates where it will appreciate partial shade. It requires moist soil.
