Crossword Genius

New pear crop (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reap

'crop' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'new pear' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'pear' with letters rearranged gives 'REAP'.

(Other definitions for reap that I've seen before include "Harvest (a crop)" , "Harvest, garner" , "'As you sow, so shall you . . . .'" , "Cut and gather (crop)" , "Derive as a reward" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
