SCHISANDRA BERRY Eastern Prince Seeds | Schisandra chinensis
Soak seeds in spring water overnight before planting. The seeds can be cultivated indoors in a seedling tray with a humidity dome using seed raising mix. Give 30 days warm (21- 26°C), then 30 days cold (5-10°C), then plant in cool shade - requires oscillating temperatures for germination to occur. The soil should be kept humid for the seeds to soak up with water. As the flowers are prone to frost damage, they are best grown in areas where the chances for frost are low. Starting in Winter the fruits develop and then ripen into bright colored red berries.
Pruning of Schisandra vines is necessary to improve ventilation and light conditions. Schisandra chinensis is a bi-sexual plant having both male and female flowers. It produces better fruit set if 2 or more plants are grown. Furthermore, anything that competes for nutrition with the Schisandra vine should be cut away. It's deciduous and very cold hardy.
Schisandra is native to China. Major cultivation of Schisandra is located in Korea and China. The production however declined continuously due to the increased deforestation in Asia. Schisandra can be integrated in agroforestry farming systems as it climbs up trees to get better light conditions. On a large-scale production Schisandra plants are grown similar to grape vines and are tied up on stakes in vertical columns. Therefore, cultivation requirements are thought to be similar to those of grapes.
