Wicker material (4)
I believe the answer is:
cane
'wicker material' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for cane that I've seen before include "Flog" , "Punish; woody stem" , "Strong stem for to allow a plant to climb" , "Type of sugar; beat" , "Raspberry stem; beat" .)
