I believe the answer is:

electorate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'somehow locate tree for pickers?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'somehow locate tree' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'locate'+'tree'='locatetree'
'locatetree' anagrammed gives 'ELECTORATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for electorate that I've seen before include "Voters collectively" , "Voters as a whole" , "Voters in general" , "choosing body" , "Everyone choosing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
