Legend has it that a long time ago, several farmers in Fenghuang Mountain accidentally fished out a big flat peach in an ancient well in southern Shandong. At that time, they all felt very strange. There are no peach trees around here. Why are there flat peaches? It turned out that one day, the Monkey King was thirsty, and he rushed into the Peach Blossom Garden of the Queen Mother. When he was about to start picking flat peaches to quench his thirst, fairies suddenly appeared to stop him from picking peaches. In a rage, the Monkey King waved a golden hoop at random. As a result, the flat peaches on the tree were scattered all over the floor by him, and one of them just fell into this ancient well in Fenghuang Mountain area.

In the process of long-term adaptation to local conditions, Muyang peach has formed unique qualities such as large fruit and small core, beautiful appearance, bright color, soft flesh, sweet juice and rich aroma, and has become a mid-late ripening peach variety with great development value in southern China. Since 1990, with the support of the provincial science and technology commission, the city has established the excellent single plant selection group of Muyang peaches, and carried out mass selection activities of excellent single plants of Muyang peaches. After re-selection and expert review, three excellent single plants were finally screened out in 1992, and the maternal orchard and breeding base were established to produce Muyang peaches.
