E.g. earth bank cut back forming feature of city park
I believe the answer is:
plane tree
'e g' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'earth bank cut back forming feature of city park' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'earth' could be 'planet' (Earth is an example) and 'planet' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ree' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plane tree that I've seen before include "Common city plant" , "It sheds its bark" , "growth" , "maple" .)
