Fridges with no red tropical fruit (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

figs

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

'tropical fruit' is the definition.
'figs' can be an answer for 'fruit' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'tropical' bit.

'fridges with no red' is the wordplay.
'with no' is a deletion indicator.
'fridges' with 'red' removed is 'FIGS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
