A wooden crate of straw-packed apples bound for market, heavy and substantial enough to require a cart or strong back. A merchant or provisioner moving bulk apples for trade or provisioning an estate or garrison relies on such crates; they protect the fruit during a long journey and keep it fresh for days or weeks if kept cool. Once unpacked, the apples are sorted by ripeness and stored in cellars or open baskets.
