Isaac Newton's apple tree auction

"Get your bids in!

Auction ends at 8pm on September 29th

There is not long left to take part in our once-in-a-lifetime auction to own a piece of living history, in association with the National Trust.

The trees offered in our auction are propagated from the actual tree that inspired Newton's Theory of Gravity, found at Newton's childhood home at Woolsthorpe Manor in Lincolnshire."


There are 10 trees up for auction, all propagated from Isaac Newton's tree. Without looking, how much would you bid for one of these trees and, how much do you think they'll sell for?

I missed the end of the auction but, last time I looked, the going price was over £2000 a tree!! You could buy a lot of ordinary apple trees for that.
