Ready with air circulating around initially weak tree fruit (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
cashew nut
'ready with air circulating around initially weak tree fruit' is the definition.
'cashew nut' can be an answer for 'fruit' (cashew nut is a kind of fruit). I am unsure of the 'ready with air circulating around initially weak tree' bit.
'weak tree fruit' is the wordplay.
'weak tree' becomes 'cashew' (cashew is a kind of tree. I am not sure about the 'weak' bit.).
'fruit' becomes 'nut' (nut is a kind of fruit).
'cashew'+'nut'='CASHEW NUT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cashew nut that I've seen before include "Edible fruit of American tree" , "Kidney-shaped snack" , "Product of tree" , "Rich source of oil and protein" .)
