• Chuck Feld told the early American story of native plants, fruit trees and home stills to a group gathered the Chadds Ford Historic Society Tuesday night.  Early settlers from Europe were afraid to drink the water from rivers. Water back home was polluted.  So settlers made best of what the crops had to offer cider, beer and peach brandy.  Many seeds are not true replication of the parent plants, so grafting of known stock was and still is used to generate predictable orchards and crops. Feld ended the lecture with a demonstration of grafting.
