<h1>Scientific Legacy Preserved: Newton's Apple Tree Saplings Cultivated and Commemorated at Astronomy Research Center</h1> A renowned astrophysicist imported and planted saplings grafted from Newton's legendary apple tree at an astronomy research center in Pune during the mid-1990s. The trees were planted near Newton's statue in the institute's courtyard. While some trees successfully bore fruit, they ultimately did not survive due to rising temperatures. Himalayan apple trees have since replaced the original saplings.
