Fruit - it's a crop to be gathered (8)
I believe the answer is:
apricots
'fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'it's a crop to be gathered' is the wordplay.
'it's a crop' anagrams to 'APRICOTS'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apricots that I've seen before include "Car is top (anag.)" , "Capri sot makes the fruit" , "Orange fruit" , "Rio pacts produce the fruit" , "Rio pacts about the fruits" .)
