The word does conjure up trees (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

redwoods

'trees' is the definition.
(type of tree)

'the word does conjure up' is the wordplay.
'conjure up' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'conjuring up' mean this).
'word'+'does'='worddoes'
'worddoes' with letters rearranged gives 'REDWOODS'.

(Other definitions for redwoods that I've seen before include "Giant trees" , "Tall sequoia trees" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
