More than one tree expert goes stealing nuts (12)
I believe the answer is:
genealogists
'more than one tree expert' is the definition.
(genealogists use family trees)
'goes stealing nuts' is the wordplay.
'nuts' indicates anagramming the letters (nuts can mean crazy).
'goes'+'stealing'='goesstealing'
'goesstealing' anagrammed gives 'GENEALOGISTS'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
