Fruit tree; colour (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mulberry

I believe this is a double definition.

'fruit tree' is the first definition.
(I know that mulberry is a type of fruit tree)

'colour' is the second definition.
(I know that mulberry is a colour)

(Other definitions for mulberry that I've seen before include "Tree whose leaves feed silkworms" , "Tree, its leaves fed to silkworms" , "The tree on which the silkworm feeds" , "Tree; dark red colour" , "Fruit tree; dark red" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
