Lightweight wood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

balsa

'lightweight wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for balsa that I've seen before include "Lightweight timber" , "Wood used in model making" , "South American tree" , "Tree yielding light wood" , "Very lightweight wood from tropical tree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune and the USA Today.
