xianjuyangmei
Yangmei in Xianju is said to have a long history of cultivation, dating back over 1,600 years to the Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties period. Note that this refers to the history of artificial cultivation of Yangmei, and it is based on clear records in historical documents.
A few years ago, when Xianju was applying for the global important agricultural cultural heritage of the "mei-tea-chicken-bee" integrated farming system, a comprehensive and systematic investigation was conducted on the ancient Yangmei forests. It was discovered that there were 13,425 ancient Yangmei trees over a hundred years old throughout the county. The vast majority of them are located in the Hengxi area in the west of Xianju. Zhengqiao Village in Hengxi Town is one of the important distribution areas, with a considerable number of ancient Yangmei trees remaining. Bold assumption: "Ten thousand years ago, there was a group of cave-dwelling ancient humans here. They discovered many of the trees we now call Yangmei in the surrounding mountains and forests. Every certain season, they would bear deep red fruits."
