Searching for Stanford’s Newton Tree 👉🌲🤔 On Stanford University’s campus, a secret apple tree grows: a direct descendant of the legendary “Flower of Kent” that inspired Newton’s theory of gravity. In the past, the university acknowledged its existence but kept its location confidential, protecting it from excessive attention. @mit’s Newton tree, however, stands prominently in the President’s Garden, a celebrated symbol of scientific heritage that has flourished from an 8-inch sapling to (an over) 12-foot-tall, fruit-bearing beauty.
