Apple 'Isaac Newton'Malus domestica, Apple 'Flower of Kent' Plant a direct descendant of one of the most historically important trees in Britain, a celebrated national treasure for over 300 years - Sir Isaac Newton's Apple tree! The original tree associated with Sir Isaac Newton’s observations on gravity stood in the garden of his home, Woolsthorpe Manor; near Grantham. The tree is said to have fallen in a storm and has subsequently regrown on the site, and is still there to this day. It is from this tree that this Isaac Newton’s Apple Tree has been propagated, offering a rare opportunity to grow a piece of history in your own garden. Each tree comes with certification that the tree has been DNA verified as a direct descendant of the original tree in Woolthorpe Manor Gardens. The variety is known as the ‘Flower of Kent’, and produces hefty cooking apples with an old-fashioned, bumpy shape. The green skin flushes red where the sun shines on it and the fruit cooks to a soft puree with a refined, sweet flavour. Grafted onto a dwarfing rootstock, the crowns of ‘Isaac Newton’s’ apple trees are easily reached to prune, spray and pick your delicious fruit. Apple ‘Flower of Kent’ is not self fertile so it is best grown with another variety to ensure good pollination. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as suitable pollinator. Height and spread: Up to 3m (10’). Rootstock: M26. Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years. Useful links: How to grow fruit trees Fruit rootstock guide Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible.
