Extra large, large round cherry (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

morello

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

'cherry' is the definition.
(I know that morello is a type of sour cherry)

'extra large large round' is the wordplay.
'extra' becomes 'more' (both can mean additional).
'large large' becomes 'll' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'more'+'ll'+'o'='MORELLO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for morello that I've seen before include "cherries" , "Cherry's" , "Small, dark, sour cherry" , "Dark-red variety of cherry" , "Sour red fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
