Our 1 gallon pots are standard industry trade gallon pots. Dimensions for 1-gallon pots vary, as they are not a precise measure of liquid volume. The term "trade gallon" is often used in the nursery industry and typically refers to a container that holds less than a full U.S. liquid gallon. For example, a trade gallon might hold about 0.66 to 0.71 US liquid gallons.
