Stuck on last two and going round in circles!
13a Coniferous trees of the cypress family found in North America and Asia (5). ..... I have T-U-A
23d Belonging to the tea family of plants (9) .........
I have - H-A-E-U-.
Have tried theaceae but cannot find suitable variant.
I should be able to find 13a but maybe i'm having one of those days??

23d is theaceous

13a thuja

[sarumite]

many thanks lloyd1e, I really should have got that but it wasn't in my dictionaries.

13 is thuja

[sarumite]

thanks to you both, yes I have now 'unearthed' the thuja!

[lloyd1e]

I think we may need the Tippex! It's possibly tsuga for the trees of the cypress family.

I am sure13a is thuja (cupressaceae family - pronounced "thuya" ), not tsuga which is pinaceae family and is also called Western Hemlock (see Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
