Oak, eg (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tree

'oak eg' is the definition.
(oak is a kind of tree)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tree that I've seen before include "Elm, perhaps" , "Ash, chestnut, or araucaria, for example" , "Box or bay maybe?" , "elder, maybe" , "Shakespearean actor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The Mirror and The Telegraph.
