 How big is a one-gallon container? Wfiat is the difference between a true gallon and a 

 trade gallon? The Perennial Plantgrowers Association, an international organization of 

 perennial growers and designers appointed a committee that came up with the following 

 guidelines. Perhaps these will help you understand what you are actually receiving or 

 selling. 



The following plant container maximum and minimum dimensions are 

 the limits recommended for plant containers classed bielow. The two di- 

 mensions are height and inside top diameter.
