Boy carrying bananas, came up with another fruit (6)

I believe the answer is:

damson

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

'another fruit' is the definition.
'damson' can be an answer for 'fruit' (damson is a kind of fruit). I am unsure of the 'another' bit.

'boy carrying bananas came up' is the wordplay.
'boy' becomes 'son' (synonyms).
'carrying' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, the bottom letters carry others).
'bananas' becomes 'mad' (slang for insane).
'came up' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'come up' mean this).
'mad' back-to-front is 'dam'.
'son' after 'dam' is 'DAMSON'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
