Fully grown or ripe (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mature

This clue is a double definition.

'fully grown' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'ripe' is the second definition.
(I know that ripe can be written as mature)

(Other definitions for mature that I've seen before include "of older years" , "Full-grown - ripe" , "sensible" , "reach the end of term" , "Old film star" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
