Jargon Guide

STANDARD
These are trees with a clear stem of at least 180-220cm and a head of a further 150/200cm.They are usually measured and listed by their trunk GIRTH; however, the height is roughly consistent throughout the girth options.

HALF STANDARD
These are smaller trees with a clear stem of at least 80-120cm. They are usually measured and listed by the DIAMETER of their crown. Other plants such as topiary balls may also be listed by their diameter.

MINI/QUARTER STANDARD
These are miniature standard trees that have clear stems of approximately 60-80cm.

HEIGHT
Where a height approximation is listed (e.g. 150/200cm), the plant is usually a shrub, or in bush form.

CLT.
Container Litres. This is the POT SIZE. Pots are measured in LITRES (often abbreviated to ‘Clt.’) but a rough guide of their diameter is as follows:

Clt. 3 = 16cm

Clt. 5 = 20cm

Clt. 7 22cm

Clt. 10 = 24cm

Clt. 12 = 26cm

Clt. 15 = 28cm

Clt. 18 = 30cm

Clt. 25 = 33cm

Clt. 30 = 40cm

Clt. 35 = 45cm

Clt. 50 = 50cm

Clt. 75 = 55cm

Clt. 100 = 60cm

All sizes are in CENTIMETRES unless otherwise stated.
