Something that falls in the fall

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acorn

(Other definitions for acorn that I've seen before include "from which something bigger may develop" , "oak's fruit" , "Potentially future tree" , "Source of a great oak" , "From which a mighty oak may grow?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
