Turn the rest into a row of trees perhaps (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

windbreak

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a row of trees perhaps' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'turn the rest' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'wind' (I've seen this in another clue).
'the rest' becomes 'break' (I've seen this before).
'wind'+'break'='WINDBREAK'

'into' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for windbreak that I've seen is " wall giving shelter".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
