Relocate nine crates of fruit (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nectarines

'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that nectarines is a fruit)

'relocate nine crates' is the wordplay.
'relocate' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'nine'+'crates'='ninecrates'
'ninecrates' anagrammed gives 'NECTARINES'.

'of' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
