Tree; neat and smart (6)

I believe the answer is:

spruce

I believe this is a double definition.

'tree' is the first definition.
(spruce is a kind of tree)

'neat and smart' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for spruce that I've seen before include "Well-dressed" , "Smart, trim" , "Smart and tidy - tree" , "Coniferous tree" , "Natty as a tree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
