Birch relative (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alder

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">birch relative</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for alder that I've seen before include "Birch relative" , "Tree with toothed leaves and cone-like fruits" , "Forward movement" , "Tree with catkins" , "Tree akin to the birch" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the LA Times.
