Tree chopping heard twice (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

white cedar

'tree' is the definition.
(I know that White cedar is a type of tree)

'chopping heard twice' is the wordplay.
'chopping' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'chopped' mean this (letters chopped or smashed up)).
'heard'+'twice'='heardtwice'
'heardtwice' anagrammed gives 'WHITE CEDAR'.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
