Turns up again to harvest some fruit (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reappears

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

'turns up again' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'harvest some fruit' is the wordplay.
'harvest' becomes 'reap' (synonyms).
'some fruit' becomes 'pears' (I've seen this before).
'reap'+'pears'='REAPPEARS'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reappears that I've seen before include "Develops again" , "Comes back" , "Returns" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
