Hi everyone! Introducing myself here on the forum. My name is Arthur Stokes my father (Wesley) is the fellow that discovered the missing Poveshon Apple tree in Western Ny in 2015. My father, mother (Robin), and myself along with my wife (Kelly)and my two boys (Oliver & Jameson) have been working hard to stabilize our original trees. So we can graft new trees. With hard work and help from Cummins Nursery in Ithaca Ny. The time has finally come to share with all you Newark hard cider enthusiasts! The final ingredient!! Please visit Cummins Nursey website and search Stokes Poveshon.

Thanks for posting Arthur! We had an opportunity to speak with your Dad here on the forum a few months ago. It’s exciting to hear you’ve been able to begin grafting trees. Best of luck on this endeavor.

Perhaps “dry” is in reference to it being tannic (like many cider apples) which causes a dry feeling on the tongue as opposed to lacking juice?

Good point. But tannic is a good word by itself.

I agree. I like the word tannic because it offers better descriptive precision. “Dry” is commonly used to describe ciders and other fermented beverages though.
