40L Round Blueberry Pot – Large Mature-Bush Pot
The 40L round blueberry pot (10.3 gal) gives mature, multi-year bushes maximum root volume and water buffer — Ø46 cm top, UV-PP, 18,900 pcs/40HQ.
Maximum Root Volume for Maximum Yield
Some bushes are in it for the long haul. Think of mature highbush blueberries, established raspberry plantings, and multi-year production blocks. There, every pot is expected to carry a full canopy and a heavy crop season after season. For those, the 40L round blueberry pot is the largest production container in our line. It also offers 40 liters (10.3 gallons) of root space. So it buffers heat, resists drought stress between irrigation cycles, and supports the heaviest fruit loads.
It measures a substantial Ø46 cm (18.1 inch) top with a 38.5 cm (15.2 inch) total height. The wide, stable footprint anchors tall, leafy bushes against wind and harvest traffic. And the large volume means fewer waterings and steadier nutrient availability through the cropping season.
Built Big, But Built to Move
A large pot still has to survive real farm work. So we injection-mold the 40L round blueberry pot for hard use. It has a thickened upper rim and rigid walls. It also shares the same 3 cm elevated feet as the rest of the round family. In addition, it drains freely from the perforated base. It also breathes from underneath. And it stands up to full-pot moving and automated handling.
Internal anti-spiral ribs guide roots toward the open base instead of circling the wall. So even a multi-year root system stays white, fibrous, and active. The round form also rolls smoothly through potting lines and seats securely on large-format racks.
Where the 40L Earns Its Place
Growers choose this size for mature high-yield bushes that would outgrow a 30L. They also choose it for u-pick orchards where plants stay put for years. It likewise suits trial and demonstration blocks, and regions where a larger water buffer protects crops through hot, dry spells. Finally, it is the standard pick for long-cane raspberry and other vigorous berry crops.
Shipping is planned around two complementary pallet formats: 1,350-piece and 900-piece pallets. So a full 40HQ container loads 18,900 pots with minimal wasted space. That keeps the landed cost of this large container competitive.
UV-Stabilized Food-Safe PP for Multi-Year Service
The pot is also molded from UV-stabilized, food-safe polypropylene (PP). It is pH-neutral for acidic peat and pine-bark mixes. It is also dark-colored to absorb spring warmth. And it is rated for 3–5 outdoor seasons of sun, frost, and heavy handling. For cold-winter farms, a frost-resistant reinforced grade is available. In addition, custom colors, printed logos, and barcodes are available for OEM and private-label orders.
40L Round Blueberry Pot: Specs, Loading, and Ordering
Here are the key numbers. Each pot weighs 950 g. It measures Ø46 × 38.5 cm with a Ø33.5 cm base, on 3 cm elevated feet. Shipping runs on mixed 1,350- and 900-piece pallets, and a full 40HQ container takes 18,900 pots. Every figure is measured from production, not estimated.
Most farms build a full sequence. They use 5L/7L/10L pots for nursery stock and 25L for early production. Mature bushes then go in the 30L round blueberry pot, and the 40L goes to the longest-term, highest-yield positions. Every size ships on pallets and can mix in one container.

Drip irrigation kits, plant label tags, and berry support stakes are also available to complete the setup.

What is the 40L round pot for?
The 40L (10.3 gal) is our largest berry container — for mature high-yielding bushes, vigorous varieties, or long-lived plantings where maximum root volume drives the fruit load.
How many 40L pots fit in a 40HQ?
18,900 pcs (1,350 per pallet; the container uses a mixed 8 + 9 pallet arrangement to maximize loading).
Does the 40L fit standard nursery racks?
Its Ø46 cm top is wider than the standard Ø38 cm rack slot — verify your bench and spacing before ordering, or use it in open-floor substrate blocks.
What size blueberry pot do I need — 25L or 30L?
Most commercial growers use 25L (6.5 gal) for standard mature bushes and 30L (7.8 gal) for vigorous varieties, older plants, or heavy substrates where you want extra root buffer. Square pots (RB-SG25L/SG30L) pack at the highest field density; round side-hole pots (RB-R025L-S) fit standard Ø38 cm nursery racks. The 5L/7L/10L squares carry young liners through propagation.
Are these pots UV-protected for outdoor use?
Yes. They are injection-molded from UV-stabilized, food-safe polypropylene (PP), designed for 3–5 seasons of outdoor exposure. The black color absorbs heat to warm the root zone. Frost-resistant and reinforced grades are available on request.
What is the difference between the square and round pots?
Square pots pack edge to edge with almost no gap, giving roughly 15–20% more plants per hectare — ideal for new high-density blocks. Round pots match traditional Ø38 cm nursery rack spacing and move smoothly on automated handling lines — ideal when your benches and equipment are already round-pot. Same PP grade, same B2B pallet programs.
What is the MOQ and how do I get pricing?
We sell B2B by the pallet and full container. Prices are not published because they depend on quantity, destination, color, and custom options. Click Request a Quote with your quantity and port — we reply with FOB pricing, lead time, and a freight/landed-cost estimate. Small trial orders are also accepted.
Can I order custom colors or my own logo?
Yes. Standard is black; custom colors and printed/branded pots are available for OEM and private-label orders. Black-and-white barcodes up to 3×5 cm are free; color barcodes and custom branding are quoted separately. Tell us your needs in the quote form.
Do you supply irrigation and accessories too?
Yes — we offer matching drip irrigation kits, plant label tags, berry support stakes, and hooks, so you can source pots and planting hardware in one shipment. Mention accessories in your quote request for a bundle price.
