Crossword Genius

Plant trees, reportedly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

furze

'plant' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for furze that I've seen before include "Dreamlike" , "Spiny shrub" , "ground cover" , "one shrub" , "Another word for gorse" .)
