Fruit, from tree, in can that needs a shake (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nectarine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fruit' is the definition.
(nectarine is a kind of fruit)

'tree in can that needs a shake' is the wordplay.
'tree in can' anagrams to 'NECTARINE'.
Though, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nectarine that I've seen before include "creating a sort of jam" , "Entrance I make with thin-skinned peach" , "Fruit - aren't nice (anag)" , "Trace nine to a kind of peach" , "Smooth-skinned variety of peach" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
