樹皮 Siksuyu(suyunamu Yeolmae) Namukkeopjil (식수유(수유나무 열매) 나무껍질)
A short bark passage from the preceding tree opens this entry, which then moves on to sansuyu (山茱萸), the red fruit of the Japanese cornel. The text has the stones taken out and only the flesh kept, four nyang from every geun as the standard. In Korea the tree is now best known for its early yellow blossom and for sansuyu tea.

HomiclubA brief passage on the bark of the siksuyu tree. In the prickly-ash group the bark carries the same tingling scent as the fruit, and thorns along trunk and branch are the mark of the group.
