Fruit (some cheapo melons) (6)
I believe the answer is:
pomelo
'fruit' is the definition.
(pomelo is a kind of fruit)
'some cheapo melons' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'POMELO' is hidden in the letters of 'cheapo melons'.
(Other definitions for pomelo that I've seen before include "Largest citrus fruit" , "Shaddock" .)
