Just an apocryphal story. He claimed that it was by watching an apple fall that the idea of gravitation occurred.

A daughter tree of the original apple was cultivated at Britain's National physical Laboratory at Teddington, for some years, and a granddaughter tree was at the Dominion Physical laboratory in New Zealand.
