Q) What if my tree doesn't seem to be absorbing water in the stand?

Tree Types FAQ
A) If you've followed all the care tips (keep it out of sun and wind, as well as making a fresh cut off the base before setting it up indoors) there are a couple of things to consider.

Why doesn't my apple tree set fruit?

Master Gardener Faq: Fruit Crops - Osceola County Extension ...
There are three apple varieties recommended for Florida: Anna, Ein Shemer, and Golden Dorsett. Most apples are not self-fruitful; for example, when Anna is planted alone, it will not bear fruit. It is recommended that Anna and Golden Dorsett be planted together because they bloom at the same time and cross-pollination will occur. Ein Shemer is self-fruitful. You may have a more northern cultivar, which is not receiving enough chilling hours.

What is a flower sheath?

Frequently Asqued Orchid Questions - Orchid FAQ
A sheath is the tubular base of the leaf surrounding the flower spike. Cattleyas and many other orchids form a protective covering for the flowers as they develop.

What is a domain tree?

Environment settings set by a batch file are not working.
In Windows 2000 one domain can be a child of another domain, e.g. child.domain.com is a child of domain.com (a child domain always has the complete domain name of the parent in it), and a child domain and its parent share a two way transitive trust. When you have a domain as a child of another, a domain tree is formed. A domain tree has to have a contiguous name space. The name of the tree is the root domain name, so in the example the tree would be referred to as root.com.

Why doesn't Oubliette display all accounts in a list or a tree view?

Tranglos Software: Oubliette: Frequently asked questions
Small screen footprint and additional security. I realize that most password managers today use a sprawling list or a tree view which allow you to see all the entries in the current file. I made a decision against such a design for two reasons. First, Oubliette is a relatively small tool, not an application you spend a lot of time in. I believe that such basic nature of a program should be reflected in its overall design.
