I believe the answer is:

papaya

(Other definitions for papaya that I've seen before include "Large, green West Indian fruit" , "Tree with orange-fleshed fruit and black seeds" , "Fruit with orange flesh" , "Tropical green-skinned fruit" , "Tropical yellow fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
