Yew or willow (4)

I believe the answer is:

tree

This clue is a double definition.

'yew' is the first definition.
(yew is a type of tree)

'willow' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for tree that I've seen before include "Sequoia, for example" , "May" , "cross" , "Eg, elm or oak" , "Shoe stretcher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
