Fruit' in language with zero scope (8,6)

I believe the answer is:

mandarin orange

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

'fruit'' is the definition.
(mandarin orange is a kind of fruit)

'in language with zero scope' is the wordplay.
'in language' becomes 'mandarin' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'zero' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'scope' becomes 'range' (synonyms).
'mandarin'+'o'+'range'='MANDARIN ORANGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for mandarin orange that I've seen is " Chinese round stove in which there's fruit".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
