Fruit-bearing said to rise, covering also bottling (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
heirloom tomato
'fruit-bearing said' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'rise covering also bottling' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'rise' could be 'loom' (looming is a kind of rising) and 'loom' is found in the answer.
'covering' could be 'mat' (mat is a kind of covering) and 'mat' is found in the answer.
'also' could be 'too' (synonyms) and 'too' is present in the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'heir' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
