Thank you Gabe. The pot I mentioned is ACTUAL 30 gal. I have nursery pots that they called 5 gal pots & have #5 printed on them (some) but they don't hold 5 gal. I also have plants in 5 gal buckets & those are actual 5 gal. It can be very confusing - as said at GW from your link. Seems like 5 or 10 gal nursery pots can be different at different nurseries. I have a 60 gal smart pot (fabric) but I will give my friend dimensions & let him figure the actual gallons it holds. I'll bet that european litre pots are different than our litre pots too. In Canada, 5 gallons (Imperial) is really same as our 6 gallons. Go figure!
