Crossword Genius

Fellow leaves fruit (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mangoes

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

'fellow leaves' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before).
'leaves' becomes 'goes' (I've seen this before).
'man'+'goes'='MANGOES'

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

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
