aka Magnolia Vine; I got a hold of some seeds last year and managed to get 3 to start. As of now the tallest is over 3ft. I am hoping maybe in the next year or so to start getting fruit. And no problem with our wet, cool winter climate.

" Schisandra chinensis 'Eastern Prince'

This Magnolia vine is a deciduous, twining, woody vine to about 20 feet, with unexceptional flowers and remarkable clusters of shiny red berries in late summer. Schisandra chinensis 'Eastern Prince' is an excellent choice for a shady nook in hot climates or full sun in coastal areas. The Magnolia vine prefers a rich, moisture-retentive soil and adequate water during the growing season. It is also very sensitive to salts in your water supply or fertilizer, so leach the roots regularly if you see light brown damage on leaf margins. Will take a few years to flower/fruit. 'Eastern Prince' is self-fertile, so it does not need a pollinator. Hardy to about 0 degrees F."
