Crossword Genius

Strange Argentine fruit (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tangerine

'fruit' is the definition.
(tangerine is a kind of fruit)

'strange argentine' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'argentine' with letters rearranged gives 'TANGERINE'.

(Other definitions for tangerine that I've seen before include "Small orange-like fruit (from North Africa?)" , "shade" , "Green tan I change into orange" , "fruit product" , "Kind of orange" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
