'yellowish orchard fruit' is the definition.
'comice pear' can be an answer for 'fruit' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'yellowish orchard' bit.

'orchard fruit' is the wordplay.
'orchard' becomes 'comice' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fruit' becomes 'pear' (pear is a kind of fruit).
'comice'+'pear'='COMICE PEAR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for comice pear that I've seen before include "Fruit" , "Late growth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
