A large basket with a capacity of about one bushel, used for storing or carrying agricultural produce.
Compound of 'bushel' (a unit of dry measure) and 'basket.' The bushel itself comes from Old French 'boissel,' ultimately related to box.
A bushel basket could hold about 35 pounds of apples or grain—it became such a standard unit that farmers could trade sight-unseen by just saying 'I'll give you two bushels' without counting individual items.
