I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Times for the Times have:

GRAN{d}AD, (older relative) [daughter – d – leaves], ILL (badly), A. My LOI as a barely remembered the name of this fruit, better known (to me at least) as the passion fruit.  Its previous appearances here were most recently in a Mephisto and a Jumbo which I would not have tackled, and prior to that in 15x15s in 2012 clued as a  hidden word, and in 2009.
