It's newly risen - from trees (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'from trees' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'it's newly risen' is the wordplay.
'it's newly' is an anagram indicator.
'risen' with letters rearranged gives 'RESIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resin that I've seen before include "Substance produced from sap of some plants and trees" , "Cannabis, say" , "Sticky stuff as from pine tree" , "Elemi, for example" , "It exudes from pines" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
