Fruit and cane trash is green (10)

I believe the answer is:

tangerines

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

'fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cane trash is green' is the wordplay.
'cane' becomes 'tan' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'trash' indicates an anagram.
'is'+'green'='isgreen'
'isgreen' with letters rearranged gives 'gerines'.
'tan'+'gerines'='TANGERINES'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tangerines that I've seen before include "Citrus fruits" , "Natives of Tangiers" , "fruit" .)
