Trees little Leslie found on chart (6)
I believe the answer is:
maples
'trees little' is the definition.
'maples' can be an answer for 'trees' (I have seen 'Trees of Canada ' mean 'maples' so perhaps 'trees' could also mean 'maples'). I am not sure about the 'little' bit.
'leslie found on chart' is the wordplay.
'leslie' becomes 'les'.
'found on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'chart' becomes 'map' (synonyms).
'les' put after 'map' is 'MAPLES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maples that I've seen before include "Trees providing syrup" , "Trees of Canada" , "Acers" , "Acer trees" , "MP sale of trees" .)
