Split basket, a hardy climbing plant genus in the star anise family (Schisandraceae), is originally native to China and Korea.
The Chinese split basket is characterised by elliptical, red-stalked, shiny, dark green leaves. These grow on brown shoots up to 10m long, which wind around supports or crawl on the ground.
The plant blooms at the end of May and the beginning of June. The small, aromatic smelling flowers are white to slightly pink. From the end of August to September, rich red berry-like fruits ripen.
The leaves are rich in vitamin E and contain trace elements such as iron, copper, manganese, nickel, molybdenum, titanium and zinc as well as magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. The fruits of the Chinese split basket can be taken raw, dried, as a tea preparation or syrup or as an extract.
