In conclusion, tree is chopped up and logged (7)
I believe the answer is:
entered
'logged' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'in conclusion tree is chopped up' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'conclusion' becomes 'end' (end is a kind of conclusion).
'is chopped up' indicates an anagram.
'tree' with letters rearranged gives 'tere'.
'end' enclosing 'tere' is 'ENTERED'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for entered that I've seen before include "Enrolled or went in" , "Logged; arrived" , "Put down" , "Came in; recorded" , "Ten deer (anag) - went in" .)
