Fruit found by German fellow in outskirts of city (6)
I believe the answer is:
cherry
'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that cherry is a type of edible fruit)
'german fellow in outskirts of city' is the wordplay.
'german fellow' becomes 'herr' (German equivalent to 'Mr').
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'outskirts of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only letters on the outskirts).
'city' with its centre taken out is 'cy'.
'herr' placed within 'cy' is 'CHERRY'.
'found by' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cherry that I've seen before include "one likely to be picked?" , "Deep red like small round fruit" , ""Loveliest of trees, the ____ now" (Housman)" , "Cerise" , "Bright red" .)
