New pear harvest (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reap

'harvest' is the definition.
('reap' can be a synonym of 'harvest')

'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 "Glean or cut as harvest" , "Harvest, garner" , "''As you sow, so you . . . .'' (4)" , "Cut and gather (crop)" , "Cut the corn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
