I am not sure if something like this was posted on the forums or not. Here is a list of the pot sizes in inches, converted to gallons. These are general estimates, and obviously does not consider different widths/height for the provided inches.
I pulled this from another site:
Yeah they do make this confusing, don't they? I have always believed (and a friend who has been in the nursery business confirmed for me) that its a way for the mass market industry to charge more for plants, by container size, not necessarily PLANT SIZE.
The "kind of accepted" standards are these:
a 4" pot= a pint
a 5/6" pot= a quart
an 7/8" pot= a gallon
(there are also 2 gallon sizes, though harder to find)
a 10" pot = a 3 gallon
a 14" pot= a 7 gallon
a 20" pot= a 10 gallon
a 24" pot = a 15 gal
a 30" pot= a 20 gal
a 35" pot = a 25/30 gal
