Coat woody plant after removing bark? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reefer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'coat' is the definition.
(I know that reefer is a type of coat)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reefer that I've seen before include "roll of hemp" , "close-fitting garment" , "drugged cigarette" , "Kind of jacket - joint" , "Smoking jacket and cigarette" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
