If it's a cossword please can you tell us the lettercount. Is it cryptic?

[Captain2]

It's from a Quiz, was asked yesterday but I can't find the thread.

[Toorak]

It wasn't answered on the other thread - I think bookbinder has it

[fiction-factory]

Sounds good- if the quiz is a Welsh one (Alex Jones on One Show always says 'poplar' for popular)

[bookbinder]

Apparently, poplars don't just grow to 40 feet, and then stop. Most varieties carry on to reach greater heights, but, at some point, they all grow to 40 feet, and then some!
