The HC Companies® Trade G Nursery Container - 15gal Trade - Round - Black - 16.5in Diam x 17.5in H

Durable Round Container for Repeated Transplanting, 15gal

Nursery containers that crack or warp under repeated handling cost growers time and product loss at every transplant cycle. The HC Companies Trade G Nursery Container solves this with heavy-duty, rigid injection-molded black plastic built to hold up through repeated fill, move, and pot-up cycles across a growing season.

At 16.5in diameter by 17.5in height, the 15-gallon size suits growers stepping up ground covers, squat shrubs, and ornamental trees into a larger, stable container that keeps root zones protected during transport. Sold in cases of 10, it fits commercial repotting schedules as easily as a home grower's seasonal upgrade.

Key Features & Benefits

• Heavy-duty injection molding — rigid black plastic resists cracking under repeated handling and stacking.
• 15-gallon capacity — accommodates root systems stepped up from smaller containers without repotting again mid-season.
• Round profile — even substrate distribution and consistent drainage around the root ball.
• Case of 10 — sized for commercial repotting runs and multi-plant home setups alike.
• 16.5in diameter x 17.5in height — stable footprint for larger shrubs and ornamental trees.

Who Should Use The HC Companies Trade G Nursery Container

Growers stepping up ground covers, squat shrubs, or ornamental trees into a larger stable pot, including commercial nurseries running high transplant volumes and home growers scaling up a handful of containers each season.

About HC Companies Nursery Containers

HC Companies has manufactured injection-molded nursery containers for the lawn and garden industry for decades, focusing on rigid, reusable pot designs that reduce breakage and replacement costs across repeated growing cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose an injection-molded pot over a thinner nursery pot?

Injection-molded pots use thicker, rigid walls that resist cracking when stacked, moved, or reused across multiple seasons, cutting replacement costs compared to thin-wall alternatives.

Can this container be reused season after season?

Yes. The rigid black plastic is designed for repeated fill-and-empty cycles and can be cleaned and reused rather than discarded after one transplant.

What size plants fit a 15-gallon round container?

A 15-gallon container at 16.5in diameter and 17.5in height suits ground covers, squat shrubs, and ornamental trees that have outgrown a 5- to 10-gallon pot.

Does the black color affect root health?

Black plastic absorbs more heat than lighter colors, so in high-sun outdoor placements growers may want extra mulch or shade cloth to keep root zone temperatures moderate.

Is this container suitable for indoor hydroponic use?

Yes, the rigid round design works equally well as a media container in indoor hydroponic setups or as a traditional outdoor nursery pot.
