4) Hornbeam??

Does the answer have to BE a tree or just CONTAIN a tree?

Alderney is a small dairy cow of a breed which originated in Alderney.  It also contains the tree ALDER and is 8 letters long.

How about that then!

1.) so is the tree inclined

[shaneystar]

1. There is an old proverb...As the twig is bent so is the tree inclined. Letters fit ....!!

[gen2]

Yes it is an old German proverb

 

[doorknob]

Gen2 - it didn't specifically mention your way of thinking but in review it does actually fit the criteria - nice one - thanks.

Marsh & Shaneystar - never heard of that proverb, no wonder I never got the answer, cheers.
