Turning Newton’s Apple Tree into Gold

Watch Artist in Residence Nabil Ali make ink from the bark of Newton’s Apple Tree in Cambridge University Botanic Garden.
The tree, which blew down in a storm in 2022, was grafted from the original apple tree in a Lincolnshire garden that is said to have inspired Sir Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity.
Nabil has named his ink Newton’s Gold. It will be part of a digital colour catalogue he’s creating from plants in the Garden for his project ‘DYE - nature, myth and climate’.
