A right tedious fellow at back in tree cultivation areas (8)
I believe the answer is:
arboreta
'cultivation areas' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'a right tedious fellow at back in tree' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'tree' could be 'bo' (bo tree is a kind of tree) and 'bo' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arboreta that I've seen before include "tree plantations" , "Rare boat (anag) - botanical tree gardens" , "growth areas" , "shady gardens?" , "Lots of trees" .)
