Time for delivery of French fruit, around 2nd of June (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

due date

'time for delivery' is the definition.
(when a baby is due to be delivered)

'of french fruit around 2nd of june' is the wordplay.
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'fruit' becomes 'date' (date is a kind of fruit).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'2nd of june' becomes 'u' (2nd letter of 'june').
'de'+'date'='dedate'
'dedate' going around 'u' is 'DUE DATE'.

(Another definition for due date that I've seen is " Term".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
