Raised a large cover over father’s tree (9)
I believe the answer is:
sapodilla
'tree' is the definition.
(sapodilla is a kind of tree)
'raised a large cover over father's' is the wordplay.
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'a large' becomes 'al' (I've seen this in other clues).
'cover over' becomes 'lido' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'father's' becomes 'pas' (pa can mean dad or father).
'al'+'lido'+'pas'='allidopas'
'allidopas' in reverse letter order is 'SAPODILLA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sapodilla that I've seen before include "Tropical tree" , "type of timber" , "tree produced" , "West Indian tree" .)
