Fruit supplier in different vein (4)
I believe the answer is:
vine
'fruit supplier' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'different vein' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates an anagram.
'vein' is an anagram of 'VINE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vine that I've seen before include "Source of the grape" , "Plant producing grapes" , "On which grapes grow" , "Woody-stemmed climber" , "Climbing fruiting plant" .)
