Crossword Genius

A fresh crop. It yields fruit (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apricot

'fruit' is the definition.
(type of fruit)

'a fresh crop it' is the wordplay.
'fresh' is an anagram indicator.
'crop'+'it'='cropit'
'cropit' anagrammed gives 'pricot'.
'a'+'pricot'='APRICOT'

'yields' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for apricot that I've seen before include "Juicy stone-fruit related to plum and peach" , "A fruit-tree" , "I part co with the fruit" , "Yellow fruit" , "Orange fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
