Long tree (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pine

This clue is a double definition.

'long' is the first definition.
(to pine for someone is to long for them)

'tree' is the second definition.
(pine is a kind of tree)

(Other definitions for pine that I've seen before include "Evergreen conifer" , "Long - timber" , "Long - tree" , "A tree to grieve for" , "Tree, waste away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Mirror.
