Lover's meeting in tree (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

date

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'lover's' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'meeting' is the second definition.
(date is a kind of meeting)

'in' acts as a link.

'tree' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for date that I've seen before include "Step out with" , "A social appointment - check calendar" , "Particular time of event - fruit" , "Sweet edible fruit" , "Assignation; fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
