Get out having escaped pea: try fruit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mango

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fruit' is the definition.
(type of fruit)

'get out having escaped pea try' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'get' could be 'go' (synonyms) and 'go' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'man' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
