Moving around old man's nuts (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

almonds

'nuts' is the definition.
(almond is a kind of nut)

'moving around old man's' is the wordplay.
'moving around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'old'+'mans'='oldmans'
'oldmans' anagrammed gives 'ALMONDS'.

(Other definitions for almonds that I've seen before include "Man sold (anag.)" , "Fruits for marzipan" , "Nuts used to make marzipan" , "Sold man on kind of nuts" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
