Trembling poplar in Anglo-Saxon enclosure (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspen

'trembling poplar' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'anglo-saxon enclosure' is the wordplay.
'anglo-saxon' becomes 'AS' (abbreviation for Anglo-Saxon).
'enclosure' becomes 'pen' (pen is a kind of enclosure).
'as'+'pen'='ASPEN'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aspen that I've seen before include "Its leaves flutter in the slightest breeze" , "city in Colorado" , "Tree that quivers" , "somewhere in Colorado" , "Trembler" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
