<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">young tree</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for sapling that I've seen before include "Baby tree" , "Young slender tree" , "small bit of wood" , "Lapsing into a young tree" , "Poetic youth" .)
