Crossword Genius

Lush yellow in orchard hedges (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wino

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

'yellow in orchard hedges' is the wordplay.
'hedges' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (hedge can mean enclose).
'WINO' is hidden in the letters of 'yellow in orchard'.

(Other definitions for wino that I've seen before include "one given to bibulousness" , "Street drunkard" , "Lush" , "Toper" , "Alcoholic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
