Flower of Kent
The Flower of Kent is a green cultivar of cooking apple. According to the story, this is the apple Isaac Newton saw falling to ground from its tree, inspiring his laws of universal gravitation. It is pear-shaped, mealy, and sub-acid, and of generally poor quality by today's standards. As its name, this cultivar likely originated from Kent, England.〔(Sir Issac Newton's Tree ) at Orange Pippin〕
Though now largely gone from commercial cultivation, a handful of Flower of Kent trees remain. Most, if not all, are said to descend from trees at Newton's Woolsthorpe Manor, and nearly all currently in existence descend from a single tree in East Malling, Kent. One such tree is located in the President's Garden at MIT, although it is known to have produced only one apple. Currently, this cultivar remains available at Antique Apple Orchard Inc. in Sweet Home, Oregon.〔(All About Apples )〕
The National Fruit Collection at Brogdale〔(Brogdale - Home of the National Fruit Collection )〕 contains an example, listed as "Isaac Newton's Tree" (1948-729)
