Abstract
A receptacle for hand-picked fruit which is susceptible to damage by crushing or bruising. A conventional picking bag or bucket is provided with a removable liner which is preferably formed from a single, flat sheet of a closed-cell foam plastic material. The liner is bent to conform to the cylindrical configuration of the picking bag or bucket wherein it is inserted, and does not interfere with use in the normal manner of canvas picking bags which are adapted for fruit discharge through the bottom.
