Following harvest, fruit comes back (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reappears

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

'following harvest fruit' is the wordplay.
'following' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'harvest' becomes 'reap' (synonyms).
'fruit' becomes 'pears' (I've seen this in another clue).
'reap' put next to 'pears' is 'REAPPEARS'.

(Other definitions for reappears that I've seen before include "Returns" , "Comes back" , "Develops again" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
