Is palm a wood??

I think the answer has to be Palm, most of 'maple' chopped up, anagrammed. I don't think Palm is a wood, type of wood - just a type of tree, but it's not something I know much about!

Thanks malone.I agree re palm being a wood.Dictionnary gives it as a plant.Have be a wood for this crossword.

I had exactly the same problem with this even though I guessed it immediately. Yes it’s a tree, not a wood but I suppose...maybe a case of needing a hand with endless syrup all over the place?

Everyman may be fun, but it's not a crossword for purists!

Would my clue have been better?!

Sorry, Essay, I wouldn't have approved of your clue! 'Palm' doesn't equal 'hand', so I don't think it works. (Feel free to consider me very demanding!)

OK ( how did we ever meet?) What about sleight of hand.....?

Essay, you could have something like 'Needing a bit of a hand....', as that'd let palm/part of a hand work.

Or...
Friend's mobile, up a tree .

You are way above me! How about “Pedantic Ahole loves me initially up a tree?”
