When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

• A larger gallon size generally means:

  • A more established root system

  • A sturdier plant

  • Faster visual impact after planting

• Example:

  • 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity

  • 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

• Commonly used for:

  • Ornamental trees

  • Feature plants

  • Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.

• Why choose Multi:

  • Fuller, more sculptural appearance

  • Strong visual presence even at younger ages

  • Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

• Commonly used for:

  • Shade trees

  • Street trees

  • Orchard and structural plantings

• Why choose Stand:

  • Clean, classic tree form

  • Easier clearance for walkways and lawns

  • Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

• If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form

• If you want long-term structure → Stand form

• If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers
