Tree of perverted love in France, say (8)
I believe the answer is:
sycamore
'tree' is the definition.
(I know that sycamore is a type of tree)
'perverted love in france say' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'love' could be 'amor' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'amor' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'syce' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sycamore that I've seen before include "Tree, form of maple" , "Eurasian maple-tree" , "Tree producing propeller-shaped seeds" , "Tree - so creamy (anag)" , "Mr O'Casey is in the tree" .)
