I believe the answer is:

'alligator pear' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for avocado that I've seen before include "Evergreen" , "Large-stoned pear-shaped fruit" , "A dark green pear with cramy flesh" , "Fruity type" , "Dull greenish colour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Sun, The Independent, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, The Guardian, The Mirror and The Times.
