Ross

I believe the answer is:

tree

(Other definitions for tree that I've seen before include "Plant with bark" , "Care for shoes" , "A number" , "Plane or pine, for example?" , "''I think that I shall never see / A poem lovely as a ...'' (Kilmer)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
