Berry senior (5)
I believe the answer is:
elder
This clue could be a double definition.
'berry' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'senior' is the second definition.
(I know that senior can be written as elder)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elder that I've seen before include "More senior in years" , "Tree for a church senior" , "Older person - one's senior" , "Church leader; tree" , "Layman of the church" .)
