Chap leaves fruit (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mangoes

'fruit' is the definition.
(mango is a type of fruit)

'chap leaves' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'man' (chap can mean a man).
'leaves' becomes 'goes' (I've seen this in another clue).
'man'+'goes'='MANGOES'

(Another definition for mangoes that I've seen is " Fruit".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
