The Howell Orchards family was busy in April tending to existing peach trees and planting 150 new ones. In the photos shown here, Lucas Howell plants his first peach tree with his uncle, Dan Howell; Lucas stands with his freshly planted tree; and Janine Howell, who owns the orchard with her husband, David Howell, stands with a peach tree in full bloom. Visitors once traveled to Catawba just to view the blossoms of thousands of peach trees on the island. (Photos by David Howell)
