Old Pope, born in Britain, not in Germany, rejecting tea we hear, also fresh fruit after short holidays (8,10)

'old pope born in britain not in germany rejecting tea we hear' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'also fresh fruit after short holidays' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'also' is 'olas' which is present in the answer.
'fruit' could be 'pea' (pea is a kind of fruit) and 'pea' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
