This depends on what kind of plant you are referring to, and whether you mean in the nursery or in the field.
In the field, plants are measured in feet- in the US- by height and width.Trees can be measured by height and width, but are also measured by the diameter of the trunk at 4' high- known as the 'caliper' of the tree.
In the nursery, plants are usually sold by the size of the container- 1 qt, 1 gal, 3 gal., etc. Here again, sometimes you see shrubs sold by height, and trees by height and/or caliper.
