It's most likely to be ROSE, based on 3 meanings:
ROSE = Put up (although the tense isn't 100% accurate)
ROSE = Tree - technically, the rose plant is a tree
ROSE = Sweetheart's present
Cryptic clue writers usually go for double meaning clues for brevity, but 3 and even 4 meanings crop up from time to time.
GIFT is wrong. Although it has the reversal of FIG you are left with an unaccounted-for letter T. "Sweetheart" suggests the letter E.
