A fresh crop. It yields fruit (7)
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" .)
