The best tree in the orchard (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plum

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'the best' is the first definition.
(informal term for best or top-class)

'tree in the orchard' is the second definition.
'plum' can be an answer for 'tree' (plum tree is a kind of tree). I am unsure of the 'in the orchard' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plum that I've seen before include "Pudding fruit" , "Fruit; something choice" , "Fruit < that's highly desirable" , "Fruit tree - of especial value?" , "Prize" .)
