Oak, in a nutshell (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acorn

'oak in a nutshell' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for acorn that I've seen before include "old computer?" , "Potential oak" , "Source of a great oak" , "Baby oak?" , "Potentially future tree" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times and the Universal.
