Crossword Genius

Sort of Argentine fruit (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tangerine

'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that tangerine is a fruit)

'sort of argentine' is the wordplay.
'sort of' indicates an anagram.
'argentine' anagrammed gives 'TANGERINE'.

(Other definitions for tangerine that I've seen before include "Small citrus fruit with a loose skin" , "Green tan I change into orange" , "fruit product" , "something juicy being given to press" , "Orange-type fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
