Conifers and confections

A walk around the garden at Careywood this afternoon shows many more leaves carpeting the lawn and tangelos ready for picking. I will make a tangelo jelly from scratch with Alison Holst's recipe(lemon jelly) from one of her early diaries.
The main image shows trunk and foliage of taxodium distichum.
The first extra is Cupressus cashmeriana , a species of cypress native to the eastern Himalaya in Bhutan and adjacent areas of Arunachal Pradesh in northeastern India. It is also introduced in China and Nepal. 
The second extra is the tangelo in the foreground and almost denuded copper beech (fagus sylvatica), prunus campanulata , a species of cherry native to Japan, Vietnam, and China, widely grown as an ornamental tree, and a symbol of Nago, Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands of Japan.In New Zealand our native bird the tui loves the spring blossom .
