Port in Algeria gets no time for fruit (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oranges

'for fruit' is the definition.
(oranges are a type of fruit)

'port in algeria gets no time' is the wordplay.
'port in algeria' becomes 'oran' (I've seen this in another clue).
'no' suggests deleting specific letters.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'gets' with 't' removed is 'ges'.
'oran'+'ges'='ORANGES'

(Other definitions for oranges that I've seen before include "Go snare these fruits" , "Citrus fruit" , "Mandarins, satsumas etc." , "a zesty lot" , "Navel, blood and Seville are all varieties of these" .)
