Cultivating fruit? Good! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raising

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

'cultivating' is the definition.
(raising is a kind of cultivating)

'fruit? good' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'fruit?' could be 'raisin' (raisin is a kind of fruit) and 'raisin' is located in the answer.
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for raising that I've seen before include "Growing" , "Lifting" , "Bringing up" , "Promoting (in rank)" , "Elevating" .)
