The name of Petung’s Mount were inspired by the area in Talok who had lots of petung’s bambooes. This mount is located on Madyorenggo. Petung’s Mount had become a history site in Talok Village because there are several heritages, namely Talok Tree, Mbah Mulud’s tomb (punden in Java language), Mbah Karimun’s tomb and his wife, Nyi Sri Murti’s tomb.  All of them were parts of contributed figure of establishing Talok Village especially in Madyorenggo when Mataram Islam’s Kingdom still endure.

In the peak of Petung’s Mount, there was a Taloka tree which is now known as Talok’s tree. The thing that make people consider a cherry tree as a Talok’s tree because they have never seen that tree actually and they didn’t know the history.
