Peach baskets are containers traditionally used for harvesting and transporting peaches, typically made of wood or woven materials. They are designed to be lightweight and ventilated, allowing air circulation to prevent the fruit from bruising. In a broader cultural context, "peach basket" can also refer to the origins of Basketball, where the first hoops were literally peach baskets suspended from a wall, marking the sport's inception in the late 19th century.
I believe that peach baskets were the first ones used. The bottom was cut out.
A bushel is equivalent to 32 quarts. Therefore, there are 32 quart peach baskets in a bushel. This measurement is commonly used for fruits and vegetables, including peaches.
they prefer peach baskets, but they will eat picnic baskets too if that's the only one available
They never cut holes in the bottom of peach baskets. Every time a shot was amde they had to climb a ladder and get the ball down. They had to continue to do this until rims were created.
When James Naismith invented the game, the hoop was a peach basket WITH the bottom still in it.

They used peach baskets
The basketball was first discovered by a man named Dr. James Naismith. He taught at the YMCA training school in Springfield Massachusetts. He used peach baskets as the goals. The peach baskets then had the bottoms of them removed so that the ball could swish through the baskets instead of hitting the bottom.
Peach baskets were nailed onto a 10 foot high track. The bottoms were left on the baskets so each time a shot was good the ball would have to be retrieved from the basket.
In December or 1891, James Naismith. (from Basketball for Dummies, pg.27)
