I’ve been buying their trees for many years. The trees are sold as 7 gallon. Today I noticed the pots are marked 6.08 gallons. That is a big difference from 7 gallon. Should I feel cheated from Hollybrook Orchards?
No, that is the approx volume that #7’s hold. Trade gallons and US gallons are not the same.

Nursery gallon measurements are different than liquid gallon measurements.

Maybe it’s like aquariums. In Europe they measure them by displacement. US they measure by internal volume.

OK, thanks. Would have never known that.
Interesting.
Someone with the same thought probably caused them to tighten up on the labelling.
