Plant with grass turned over around it, attended by bird (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
fruit tree
'plant with grass turned' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'over around it attended by bird' is the wordplay.
'over around' becomes 'fruit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'it' becomes ''t' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis).
'attended by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bird' becomes 'ree' (term for a female ruff bird).
'fruit'+'t'+'ree'='FRUIT TREE'
(Another definition for fruit tree that I've seen is " Perhaps apple".)
