I believe the answer is:

cedar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a tree' is the definition.
(cedar is a kind of tree)

'elaborately cared for?' is the wordplay.
'cared' can be anagrammed to 'CEDAR'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cedar that I've seen before include "Evergreen tree" , "Tall conifer" , "Raced around a great hardwood tree" , "Fragrant conifer" , "Leaving body" .)
