Some tropical fruit for young beast (4)

I believe the answer is:

calf

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'young beast' is the definition.
'calf' can be an answer for 'beast' (calf is a kind of beast). I'm not certain of the 'young' bit.

'some tropical fruit for' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'CALF' is hidden within 'tropical fruit for'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for calf that I've seen before include "Young cow/bull" , "Young seal" , "Roo's mum (A. A. Milne)" , "stocking filler" , "Baby cow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
