Get fruit from the tree and a makeshift bed? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shakedown

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'makeshift bed?' is the definition.
(shakedown can mean an improvised bed)

'get fruit from the tree and a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found within the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shakedown that I've seen before include "extortion" , "Makeshift bed" , "improvised bed" , "Overcharge villainously" .)
