'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that berry is a type of fruit)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for berry that I've seen before include "Small succulent fruit" , "eg Chuck or Halle" , "Small round stoneless fruit, may be black (5)" , "Small soft fruit" , "Word linking black or blue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
