Cut — fruit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prune

I believe this is a double definition.

'cut' is the first definition.
(I know that cut can be written as prune)

'fruit' is the second definition.
(prune is a kind of fruit)

(Other definitions for prune that I've seen before include "Dull person" , "Trim (tree); dried plum" , "Shrivelled fruit" , "Cut back the dried plum" , "Trim - dried fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Guardian.
