Day for fruit (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

date

This clue is a double definition.

'day' is the first definition.
(I know that day can be written as date)

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

(Other definitions for date that I've seen before include "Girlfriend perhaps" , "A social appointment - check calendar" , "Appointment - fruit of palm" , "eg 1588" , "Go out with" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
