Crossword Genius

Source of fruit or beet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orchard

'source of fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'or beet' is the wordplay.
'beet' becomes 'chard' (chard is a kind of beet).
'or'+'chard'='ORCHARD'

(Other definitions for orchard that I've seen before include "Field for growing fruit" , "One may grow fruit" , "Fruit-growing area" , "Small wood of fruit trees" , "where fruit trees grow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
