Comes back to harvest some fruit (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reappears

'comes back' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'harvest some fruit' is the wordplay.
'harvest' becomes 'reap' (synonyms).
'some fruit' becomes 'pears' (I've seen this before).
'reap'+'pears'='REAPPEARS'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for reappears that I've seen before include "Comes back" , "Returns" , "Develops again" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
