Fruity bananas (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nutty

I believe this is a double definition.

'fruity' is the first definition.
('nutty' can be a synonym of 'fruity')

'bananas' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for nutty that I've seen before include "Out to lunch" , "Crazy -- tasting of almonds" , "Eccentric - like nougat?" , "Like, eg, brazils" , "19 [LUNATIC]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
