Young tree (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sapling

'young tree' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sapling that I've seen before include "Baby tree" , "Young slender tree" , "small bit of wood" , "Lapsing into a young tree" , "Poetic youth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Irish Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
