Needle holder (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

conifer

(Other definitions for conifer that I've seen before include "Fir or pine, for example" , "Tree such as pine, yew etc" , "The tree doesn't lose its leaves" , "one branching out" , "Evergreen (generally)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
