Blight-stricken tree (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elm

'blight-stricken tree' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for elm that I've seen before include "Large tree" , "one has a trunk and leaves" , "Tall shade tree" , "Species of tree" , "One [TYPE OF TREE]" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the L.A. Times Daily and The Washington Post.
