Flog a tree (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

birch

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'flog' is the first definition.
(I know that birch is a more specific form of flog)

'a tree' is the second definition.
(I know that birch is a type of tree)

(Other definitions for birch that I've seen before include "See 1" , "Flog" , "Type of tree" , "Silver-white barked tree" , "Hardy tree" .)
