Tropical evergreen tree of the laurel family (7)

I believe the answer is:

avocado

(Other definitions for avocado that I've seen before include "Dull greenish colour" , "slightly green" , "Savoury pear-shaped fruit" , "Pear-shaped tropical fruit" , "Dark green pear-shaped fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
