Spooner's stockings get torn going for fruit on thorny bush (8)
I believe the answer is:
rosehips
'spooner's stockings get torn going' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'fruit on thorny bush' is the wordplay.
'fruit' becomes 'hips' (I've seen this before).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'thorny bush' becomes 'rose' (I've seen this in another clue).
'hips' put after 'rose' is 'ROSEHIPS'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rosehips that I've seen before include "Fruity types" , "Fruits of the rose bush" , "fruit" .)
