Thanks, you are my favourite herbalist and I wish I lived closer to you so I could take some courses. Please keep the videos coming along. I am studying TCM herbology here in Vancouver B.C. Canada and you have helped me for my final exam in 8 days. You are a very special person to me.
I live in a moderate climate zone in Eastern Europe. Here we have the same problem sometimes with fruit trees that flower before the last frost. There are two ways to save the plants that the old people have taught me. One is to light on fire (with diesel usually) a bale of damp straw close to the tree and make sure the thick smoke passes all around it. The straw will smoke like that for many hours. Do that for the period from very early morning until the morning dew has passed. The other method is to water the plant. The water freezes and protects it. It sounds counterproductive but it works. The plants can deal with being wet in the cold - they have no problem with rain for example - but the morning frost hits them in a different way and it burns them. If you really want to save a plant from being frosted, it's not hard at all. People around here don't do it for one tree but they do it for orchards. Good luck!
Joe, we run a nursery up in NY State (Edible Acres). We have a whole pile of schisandra we started from seed (actually from Gene!) and they are now sizing up. If you haven't found a male partner for your friend there, let us know, maybe we can share some bare roots with you to get them some companionship :) We are planning to establish our Schisandra plantings in a cooler microcliimate so they aren't triggered to wake up early spring. Hopefully that helps.
good info for this region. thanks i knew they are having luck in northeast US and in China most come from dong bei region (north east of china). Was thinking maybe they needed the long dormant period but the fluctuating spring weather makes sense.
Thank you! for the great video. I'm just starting some schizandra in Brooklyn (zone 5) and your information is really helpful.. sorry you didn't get fruit yet, hopefully you will now! :) Good luck!
I'm gladnypu are enjoying it I'm in Oregon cold as well in May being from Texas it isn't mu most fave cold weather yet the vue is as you thought it would be super for my spirit and I do live the coast sorry to hear aboult a fire where your are hope your doing well and the world smills your way happy early summer vibes towards you and yours
Not only berries can be used. Flesh of berries, stem and leaves increase bloodpressure, while berries decrease it. Its wise to use them separately. Dried stems are great in tea.
Yes, which is why with nurseries it is common practice selling cuttings/grafting, especially with fruit plants. Seedlings are always notorious for being unpredictable, and many having fruit that doesn't match their parents. He was expecting a clone, and at best probably got a seedling. Or the variety was never "Eastern Prince" to begin with, the nursery's original source may have lied as well.
Hello, would you have a picture of what the seeds themselves are to look like? I had ordered some seeds and are questioning whether they are truly Schizandra chinensis.
I obtained a self fertile cultivar in Australia (no cv name) and got fruit in its second year and waiting for ripening in Feb i gather here? I have a slower growing second plant for improved fruit set but glad i will get to try a few fresh so soon after your experience?
where are you located? I"m also in Zone 5b /6a. Indiana. I'm worried about his frost comments because all my peaches keep getting frozen. I planted mine about 10 feet out from some maple trees, but yet it could get a little full sun in the morning. What do you think? Which variety do you have also? I have 2 Eastern Prince but I think I will order another variety for next year.
@@jefdby Hi, jef. I think mine is also Eastern Prince but it was planted in 2003. I'm in NH. It took several years to mature, but has been producing fruit for at least 10 years. It is a self pollinating variety. Has recently produced babies from fallen fruit and suckers prolificly. Good luck. Makes a very nice cordial in vodka💟🍀
@@jefdby You are welcome. I also recommend trying Arctic Beauty kiwis. Mine are ripening now. Planted same year they are delicious and have survived late frosts with little dieback. Happy gardening😀
Luck. Kept refrigerated in damp peat moss for a month or two. Nicked the seed with a fingernail clippers. Planted in small a small container. It took a few weeks to sprout, and I didn’t have a high germination rate.
Um that's not how genetics or seedlings work. "Eastern Prince" has to be from a cutting/graph of the original plant, a clone. Seedlings of Eastern Prince revert to being dioecious and being ether male of female. So you germinated something, if it's a boy or a girl remains up to time to tell.
*Tips Fedora* very clever, neat the stuff that gets written on wikipedia 20 years later. He also stated he had a problem for most of those years with the blossoms freezing off each spring do to erratic weather patterns were he lives, and the plant blooming too early. It only blooms once a year, so if the blooms freeze, it's all over until next year. He also has thousands of other plants in his garden so it's not like he just sat around this vine all those years watching it. And if you bothered to listen to him, he said he was sold a hybrid named "Eastern Prince", which is marketed as having "perfect flowers" thereby removing the dioecious issue of the plant. So the seller lied to him.
Did you receive any information from one green world regarding self pollination. I also bought one from them this year with the idea that it was self pollinating then saw this video.
RIP Joe ! and Thanks for all the garden wisdom you shared with us !

Thank you for this info brother! Some things that don't make sense at first actually turn out to be common sense in the end!!!!
How is it doing now ? Can we get a 4 year update please love the video!

Wonder if Joe ever watches UA-cam stuff himself.😉
Very interesting thanks Jo & gang! Schizandra tastes amazing!
OmG all my gratitude and respect!!! Thanks you for all your knowledge. Thank-you !
good info for this region. thanks i knew they are having luck in northeast US and in China most come from dong bei region (north east of china). Was thinking maybe they needed the long dormant period but the fluctuating spring weather makes sense.
I am planing to buy one this year. Now I know i should not expect much :)
Thank you! for the great video. I'm just starting some schizandra in Brooklyn (zone 5) and your information is really helpful.. sorry you didn't get fruit yet, hopefully you will now! :) Good luck!
so how did it go in brooklyn?

i myself would loovve this plant in my garden

little tip for those interested: chilled wuweizi tea makes for a delicious drink mixer.
I understood this video about this herb well thanks
I wonder if I could grow schisandra here in Florida? 🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿
Overhead irrigation during frost nights might be an easy solution to the frost issue.
Qué hermoso señor ❤
On Alan Kapuler's Peace Seeds website it says seedlings from the Eastern Prince cultivar revert to separate male and female plants.
Yes, which is why with nurseries it is common practice selling cuttings/grafting, especially with fruit plants. Seedlings are always notorious for being unpredictable, and many having fruit that doesn't match their parents. He was expecting a clone, and at best probably got a seedling. Or the variety was never "Eastern Prince" to begin with, the nursery's original source may have lied as well.
I have just purchase my seedling from Korea so I hope its a self fertile plant, well I will know next summer.
Hello, would you have a picture of what the seeds themselves are to look like? I had ordered some seeds and are questioning whether they are truly Schizandra chinensis.
Thank you sir
I obtained a self fertile cultivar in Australia (no cv name) and got fruit in its second year and
waiting for ripening in Feb i gather here? I have a slower growing second plant for improved
fruit set but glad i will get to try a few fresh so soon after your experience?
HI DID U GET THE MALES ANGELA IN CO, DO YOU SELL IT THX
Maybe get more vines from different sources & try espalier with some against a south wall maybe pot it for a cool house in winter or greenhouse.
Can the leaves be used for tea?
Plant it in shade. Under a tree that it can grow into. Mine from one green 🌎 is prolific and spreads from roots. Zone 4
where are you located?
I"m also in Zone 5b /6a. Indiana.
I'm worried about his frost comments because all my peaches keep getting frozen.
I planted mine about 10 feet out from some maple trees, but yet it could get a little full sun in the morning.
What do you think?
Which variety do you have also?
I have 2 Eastern Prince but I think I will order another variety for next year.

@@claraisely9397 thanks!! I'm hoping to make tea and other healthy things, with Vodka too! :)
@@jefdby You are welcome. I also recommend trying Arctic Beauty kiwis. Mine are ripening now. Planted same year they are delicious and have survived late frosts with little dieback. Happy gardening😀
@@claraisely9397 thank you so much. Where did you get yours?
I’m trying to grow from seed.. but hasn’t germinated yet? Is there any tricks for that?
Where can i buy a seeds of Schisandra berries?
Schisandra for apathy in schizophrenia, does it work?
sirf I need this plants please help me
Well, then how come they get berries in NY? Was it the m/f issue and not the cold issue?
What is the best way to take Schizandra berries for medicinal purposes? Thank you
Tincture. Makes the active compounds more bioavalible. It's the case with most things.
Got my first seed to germinate yesterday! Here’s hoping it’s self-fertile.
how did you germinate yours?
Luck. Kept refrigerated in damp peat moss for a month or two. Nicked the seed with a fingernail clippers. Planted in small a small container. It took a few weeks to sprout, and I didn’t have a high germination rate.

Okay. Tell me more. Was not the self-fertile Eastern Prince once a seed?
Oh here in Germany we harvested after a couple of years already
Did you start yours from seed?
@@hobin1433 nope. we bought a little pant
What happened? ?? Did you get berries?
took 20 years to figure that out....
❤😂yeah. .only female flowers won't fruit. I have some Korean seeds if u want to grow it to get male flowers😊good luck!

Just an idea, but if you would use the English name instead of the scientific one, you would get a lot more views on your videos.
What is the English name?
@Community Grow Right -which is neither English nor whatever. Its the genus name. Respect it
If you get no fruit, maybe it's a male or needs a pollinator, huh?
Took me 5 seconds to learn you need a male plant for every 3 females. I'm cracking up at this guy.

She needs a man. I suppose you don't swing that way Joe.
Ha!ha!ha!
Funny! Funny!
