Fit wingers learning to implant some broccoli (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

floret

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

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

'fit wingers learning to implant' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'learning' could be 'lore' (both can mean tradition or knowledge) and 'lore' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for floret that I've seen before include "Broccoli stem" , "Small flower" , "Part of cauli head" , "Piece of broccoli" , "Part of a cauliflower or broccoli head" .)

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