Eg, alder or birch (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tree

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'eg alder' is the first definition.
(alder is a kind of tree)

'birch' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for tree that I've seen before include "Oak, for example" , "Large growth" , "Forest plant" , "Large, woody perennial plant" , "Eg, elm or oak" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
