Trees, possibly sacred ... (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cedars

'trees' is the definition.
(cedar is a kind of tree)

'possibly sacred' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'sacred' with letters rearranged gives 'CEDARS'.

(Other definitions for cedars that I've seen before include "(Lebanese?) trees" , "Sacred (anag) -- trees" , "Trees with perfumed wood" , "Strangely sacred trees" , "Aromatic trees" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
