Apt rhyme for chop and crop (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lop

(Other definitions for lop that I've seen before include "Remove branches from a tree" , "Chop (off)" , "Cut (e.g. branch off)" , "Cut away branches or twigs" , "Prune, cut the top off" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
