Cones and seeds of a Japanese-Cedar, Cryptomeria japonica, an exotic planted in the Victorian necropolis of Green-Wood. The seeds are about 5mm long. When I brought the little cones home they were bright green and very tight. But, like pinecones, they bloomed in the apartment, releasing their cargo when jostled.

There are at least two among the manicured lawns and gardens of Prospect Park South. This was one of the plants I learned in BBG’s Woody Plants class.

A Late Victorian kind of place, Prospect Park West, right down to the Anglophilic street names, and with many a specimen tree.
