USDA Zone:3 Nutritional highlights – superfruit, high in vitamins C & E, minerals and essential oilsHistory and background This deciduous woody vine is native to forests of Northern China and the Russian Far East. It is considered winter hardy to Zone 4 (-30 degrees F) and prefers a rich, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil, adequately watered during the growing season. It is naturally dioecious, requiring both male and female plants for pollination and fruiting. Breeders in Russia have developed a hybrid selection that is self-fertile. The fruit is borne in clusters and look much like red currant. It has all five basic flavors: salty, sweet, sour, pungent (spicy) and bitter; hence in China, it’s commonly called five flavor berry. It is considered to be one of the 50 fundamental herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. Russian pharmacological studies on animals (Panossian and Wickman, 2008) have shown that the unique phytoadaptive compounds of Magnolia vine increase physical working capacity and afford a stress-protective effect against a broad spectrum of harmful factors. It was used by indigenous Nanai hunters to improve night vision, as a tonic and to reduce hunger, thirst and exhaustion. The fruit is also known to be high in vitamin C, E, minerals and essential oils. The sweetened fruit is used to make juice, preserves and wine. * * * * I guarantee your package will arrive or I will reship it at my cost.
