Crossword Genius

Where fruit grows, or variety of beet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orchard

'where fruit grows' is the definition.

'or variety of beet' is the wordplay.
'variety of beet' becomes 'chard' (I've seen this before).
'or'+'chard'='ORCHARD'

(Other definitions for orchard that I've seen before include "Land planted with fruit trees" , "Small wood of fruit trees" , "Cultivated land" , "Fruit-growing area" , "Garden of fruit trees" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
