An ornamental plant found in many fine gardens throughout the world, schisandra is a woody vine with oval pink leaves and bright red berries. The most popular use can be recorded in China and Russia. Its Chinese name is wu-wei-zi, which means "five-taste fruit". Schisandra has a usually sour, sweet, bitter, warm, and salty taste, hence the name "five taste".
