For 11A, I have 'bolero' - waistcoat. I think it's 'bole' which every tree ('every elder') has, with 'or'/yellow (and it's 'about' so reversed in the answer - bole ro).

Better than my answer - thanks malone!

unclueds possibly myth-makers/wych-hazels; measure, harbour, come out ??? Can't see a connection though to literal quintet

I assumed compound xwordfan. Doesn't say there is a two word one.

And it has to be wych-hazels to get the hyphen I think.

Could it be anagrams of 37ac? e.g. Trees = wych-hazels. Must admit haven't spotted any others though.
