Kind of birch tree, producing rot-resistant wood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alder

(Other definitions for alder that I've seen before include "Tree with catkins" , "Tree with toothed leaves and cone-like fruits" , "Water resistant wood" , "Tree related to the birch" , "Forward movement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
