Where is the apple tree that inspired Isaak Newton?

Legend has it that a young Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree when he was hit on the head by a falling fruit that prompted him to suddenly come up with his law of gravity.

There is no evidence to suggest the fruit did actually land on his head, but Newton’s observation of falling apples could really inspire him to develop his law of universal gravitation.

Experts believe that the apple anecdote took place between 1665 and 1667, when Newton was studying at Cambridge University, but because of an outbreak of the bubonic plague in the school he moved back to his childhood home, Woolsthorpe Manor near Grantham in Lincolnshire, England.

Some say that the famous apple tree has been growing at Woolsthorpe Manor to this day.
