This variety originated from a tree growing in Isaac Newton's garden at Woolsthorpe Manor, near Grantham, Lincolnshire in 1660. While it appears identical to Flower of Kent, the latter is not a synonym for Isaac Newton's Tree as positive identification cannot be proven. Fruits have soft, coarse-textured flesh with a subacid flavour. Our stock tree was propagated from scion wood obtained from Grove Research Institute Tasmania.
