'growth in jersey?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'something in the wind from europe projecting' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'wind' could be 'horn' (horn is a kind of wind) and 'horn' is present in the answer.
'from' could be 'fr' (abbreviation) and 'fr' is present in the answer.
'europe' could be 'e' (abbreviation eg in E number) and 'e' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for french horn that I've seen before include "Brass musical instrument" , "Wind instrument" , "part of a broken-down 27 [CARTHORSE]?" .)
