Thanks, dannyk13. I can see the tree part of the answer but cannot understand the first part. Can you help me to understand this part please?

[joncavo]

Thank you very much,dannyk13, penelope2 and Sipowicz. I get it now!

[Sipowicz]

University = campus
pulled up = reversed (it's a down clue)
minus p - parking.

[dannyk13]

Campus is the university grounds. p=parking, remove p from campus and reverse which gives you sumac, a tree. Hope this helps

[joncavo]

Thanks for detailed explanation, Sipowicz. Greatly appreciated.
