Major Tree (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elder

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'major' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

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

(Other definitions for elder that I've seen before include "Older or two" , "Official of some Churches, or senior statesman" , "Church official; tree" , "Senior figure; tree" , "Woody shrub - used for wine, tea or cordial" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
