'the bed' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'make the fruit fall from the tree' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'make' could be 'do' (do can mean to make or prepare) and 'do' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.
