4a Smart to disconnect after energy conserved by family (5-3) _ _ _ A _ - C _ T. (final cut? if so, why?)

5d Feature of spectacular Christmas tree (5) _ _ R _ H.

The first letter of 5d is the second letter of 4a. I'm pretty sure that all the letters I have are right but if I have made a mistake the only letter it could possibly be would be the "T" in 4a.

Thank you.

5d is LARCH )hidden)

4a clean cut - family = clan with E(energy) inside + cut (disconnect

5d LARCH - hidden in the clue

clean-cut?
e(nergy) in clan, then cut = disconnect?

Thank you. How on earth did I miss that?

Thank you both, finished now.
