I,m stuck on a couple of clues. All answers are trees or shrubs.
1) Single golfer, perhaps (9)
2) Aesthetically pruned for contemplation ( 6-4)
3) Beauty never saw one until she was 16 yrs (7)
Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks

1 Coula edulis -Common names include Gabon Nut, African Walnut, Congowood, TIGERWOOD

2 Pagoda Tree? Do you contemplate under a Pagoda?

Bonsai Tree

A bonsai tree is created mainly for contemplation, according to Wikipedia.

many thanks for your help. Just stuck on :-
Beauty never saw one until she was 16 yrs (7)

May have something to do with the sleeping BEAUTY who was 16 when she pricked her finger on a spinning wheel.
Briars also come into the book.
Probably a load of nonsense.

Brilliant. Of course Sleeping Beauty. From birth she was hidden from needles and spindles to prevent the curse but after 16 years she found a spindle and pricked her finger. Spindle being also a shrub, I love you guys
