Hard close-grained tree with a syrupy sap (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maple

(Other definitions for maple that I've seen before include "Type of syrup" , "Tree cultivated for its sap" , "Leaves on this" , "Tree producing syrup" , "Tree with syrupy sap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
