Fertile patches in the desert (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oases

(Other definitions for oases that I've seen before include "Where there may be dates" , "Fertile tracts in a desert" , "Fertile areas in deserts" , "Fertile desert spots" , "Green desert spots" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
