Disturbed thrushes etc, on tree (5,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

horse chestnut

'tree' is the definition.
(horse-chestnut is a kind of tree)

'disturbed thrushes etc on' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates an anagram.
'thrushes'+'etc'+'on'='thrushesetcon'
'thrushesetcon' with letters rearranged gives 'HORSE-CHESTNUT'.

(Other definitions for horse chestnut that I've seen before include "Source of timber" , "whose shade may be seen in park" , "Tree with sticky buds" , "Tree with conkers" , "It bears fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
