Excellent fruit (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

star

plum

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'excellent' is the first definition.
(star can mean excellent or top-quality)

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

(Other definitions for star that I've seen before include "Ball of fire" , "Famous person" , "Heavenly body - leading actress?" , "appear above others?" , "Lead actor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
