A point about passion fruit (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tangerine

'fruit' is the definition.
(tangerine is a kind of fruit)

'a point about passion' is the wordplay.
'a point' becomes 'tine' (I've seen this in another clue).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'passion' becomes 'anger' (I've seen this in another clue).
'tine' going around 'anger' is 'TANGERINE'.

(Other definitions for tangerine that I've seen before include "Kind of orange" , "Moroccan" , "Variety of mandarin orange" , "Small orange" , "orange colour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
