I find this: Schisandra chinensis (五味子 in Chinese, pinyin: wǔ wèi zi, literally "five flavor berry" which is its common name[1]) is a deciduous woody vine native to forests of Northern China and the Russian Far East. It is hardy in USDA Zone 4. The plant likes some shade with moist, well-drained soil. The species itself is dioecious, thus flowers on a female plant will only produce fruit when fertilized with pollen from a male plant. However, there is a hybrid selection titled "Eastern Prince" which has perfect flowers and is self-fertile. Seedlings of "Eastern Prince" are sometimes sold under the same name but are typically single-sex plants.

Medicinal uses

Its berries are used in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs. They are most often used in dried form, and boiled to make a tea. Chemical constituents include the lignans schizandrin, deoxyschizandrin, gomisins, and pregomisin, which are found in the seeds of the fruit. It should not be used by pregnant women.[citation needed]

In China, a wine is made from the berries.[6

Auto fertile as in self fertile?
It's even worse than needing another plant you.need another plant of the opposite sex so you need minimum two vines.
It is hardy down to Zone four and is shade tolerant it is strange tasting( known as the five flavour berry as it has all the Chinese important flavours) I'm pretty sure it needs cold stratification  like some time in the fridge but not sure how much as I didn't get it right. Maybe with GA3?
Oh i see... yes a friend tell me about this self fertile shisandra.  Maby someone knows it...

Tried to sprout seeds s bunch of times nada it needs cold stratification and male and female to fruit. Really want this plant. I use alot of the dry powder of the seeds and fruit.
Hi my friend, cold stratification is to put seeds in the fridge? I thought it's more easy to sprout... i ear that there are auto-fertile plants... it's true? Thank you so much!  ;)

That because of the French name for grapefruit being almost the same as the English name for Citrus Maxima which in English is  Pummelo. .  Instead of using pumelo, when talking to Portugal tree seller try using the actual scientific name Citrus Maxima. - Millet
Thank's! And the scientific name to grapefruit?  ;)

I can't comment on the flavor, reports are that while variable, they are one of the few Native Australian fruits good enough to be eaten fresh out of hand.  Enormous tree.
And can you send me two seeds?  ;D

You need to contact a fruit distributor. There is lots of red tape, and regulations, involved with shipping fruit. Also it's not worthwhile for these distributors to do small quantities. Best is to encourage local markets to contact them. So what you're asking for is not easy, but not impossible either.
I see... well maby one day.  :)

so, yes, take some shade
My friend, i want to give my condolences for the victimes and all destruction this huge fire is doing in your country. Just hope you live far away! Stay strong!

Huertas is in Argentina. Fires were in Chile. Very very far from one another.
