Currently, this cultivar remains available at Antique Apple Orchard Inc. in Sweet Home, Oregon. [3] According to the story, this is the apple Isaac Newton saw falling to ground from its tree, inspiring his laws of universal gravitation.

Newton returned to Woolsthorpe in 1666 when Cambridge University closed owing to the plague, and performed many of his most famous experiments there, most notably his work on light and optics. [4] This is also said to be the site where Newton, observing an apple fall from a tree, was inspired to formulate his law of universal gravitation.
The tree at Cambridge University Botanic Garden was a scion - a descendent - of the tree that was said to have inspired Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravity. The apple tree fell in February 2022.
