Fruit gives staff vitality (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mango

'fruit' is the definition.
(type of fruit)

'staff vitality' is the wordplay.
'staff' becomes 'man' (as in staffing or manning a particular place).
'vitality' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues).
'man'+'go'='MANGO'

'gives' is the link.

(Other definitions for mango that I've seen before include "Yellow-fleshed fruit" , "Large oval tropical fruit" , "No, Mag has the odd fruit" , "Fruit, often in chutney" , "Fleshy tropical fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
