Flora, Fauna And Rusticity

[room512]

Please can you help. I am stuck on 10 questions out of 100. There is no prize, it is a church quiz but I compete against my brother each year!

1. The heart of men and ships (3)
2. Hiding place for three revellers on 6 January (3,4)
3. Went away with the shepherds (6)
4. Not borne on thorn bushes (4) I think this is rose but that seems too simple!
5. Norm, on French soil, is formally arranged (8)
6. Joiner followed by first class, but backward, plant (11)
7. Rotated turnips in Norfolk (8)
8. The Lord’s Land (4,4)
9. Play softly before each fruit (5)
10. A GI? Less than likely to imprison a farmer (5)
