Conifer pruned into plum pudding

A couple from Somerset have transformed a 20ft (6m) conifer into a Christmas pudding complete with cream and illuminated holly berries on top.

The tree in Roger and Valerie Holley's front garden in Yeovil is spreading the festive cheer to passers-by.



Roger Holley, 60, used white emulsion paint to create the cream and half a dozen ball floats from a toilet cistern, painted red for the berries.



It has taken Mr Holley five years of careful pruning to create the pudding.

"We're a very sociable couple and like to spread good cheer," said Mr Holley of his festive creation.
