Producer of citrus fruit in Lima having one meter broken (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
lemon tree
'producer of citrus fruit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'lima having one meter broken' is the wordplay.
'lima' becomes 'L' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'having' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'one'+'meter'='onemeter'
'onemeter' is an anagram of 'emontree'.
'l'+'emontree'='LEMON TREE'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lemon tree that I've seen is " Variety of citrus".)
