Fruit nomads gathered haphazardly (6)
I believe the answer is:
damson
'fruit' is the definition.
(damson is a kind of fruit)
'nomads gathered haphazardly' is the wordplay.
'gathered haphazardly' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'nomads' is an anagram of 'DAMSON'.
(Other definitions for damson that I've seen before include "Kind of plum for nomads" , "Small tart plum" , "fruit tree" , "Ma, Don's a fruit" , "sort of fruit" .)
