Small shoot (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprig

'small shoot' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sprig that I've seen before include "Small leafy stem" , "What may be flowering" , "Small nail without a head" , "Spray - youngster" , "Shoot - twig" .)

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