A walk in the park — then get on a tree (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cinchona

'tree' is the definition.
(cinchona tree is a kind of tree)

'a walk in the park then get on a' is the wordplay.
'a walk in the park' becomes 'cinch' (I've seen this before).
'then get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cinch'+'on'+'a'='CINCHONA'

(Other definitions for cinchona that I've seen before include "Tree, its bark for quinine" , "medicinal drug" , "Medicinal bark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
