Call about the woman's fruit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cherry

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

'call about the woman's' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'cry' ('cry' can be a synonym of 'call').
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'the woman' becomes 'her' (**).
'cry' enclosing 'her' is 'CHERRY'.

(Other definitions for cherry that I've seen before include "Bright red" , "one likely to be picked?" , "Cricket ball" , "Greyfriars Bob" , "What fruiterer may have" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
