Follow – stem (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stalk

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">follow</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that stalk is a more specific form of follow)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">stem</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that stem can be written as stalk)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for stalk that I've seen before include "Follow prey stealthily" , "Quietly pursue" , "Shadow" , "Stem of plant" , "Stem; pursue stealthily" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
