Tree that goes high up into the sky (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plane

This clue is a double definition.

'tree' is the first definition.
(plane is a type of tree)

'that goes high up into the sky' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for plane that I've seen before include "Tree - figure - aircraft" , "Smooth" , "What imitates bird" , "Form of transport" , "Smoother" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
