"They are DECIDUOUS conifers, like their relatives the bald cypresses, and unlike the true sequoia and redwood. "

Yup. My bald cypresses are just beginning to put on their spring needles/leaves. (They've been bare all winter)

There are a few larch here. They are deciduous conifers, a scraggly, useless tree that doesn't do well, is structurally weak, grows to maybe 30' high when it doesn't break off 10 feet from the ground, yet somehow doesn't care about aesthetics and lives anyway. Just when you think the last one is finally dead, you come across another one farther back in the woods.
