Hi All: I couldn't find and appropriate newsgroup for this post so I
thought I'd try this one. Besides, if I don't solve this problem, I
will be needing a home repair.

We cut a fress Christmas tree a couple of weeks ago at a local tree
farm; it is a Balsam Fir. Since this tree was huge, by the time I set
it up, I ended up cutting about one foot off the bottom and 6 inches
from the top. The important thing is that it was a fresh cut just
before I put up the tree and filled the tree holder pan with water.

This tree will not drink water. Is it becasue it is a fresh tree and
doesn't need it?

Any suggestions on what I should do?

This is Turtle.

I think Noozer got it with the flate butt of the trunk sitting flate on the
bottom of the pan. If you restrict the veines of the truck it will not take on
water.

Secondly take some of this stuff call miricle grow and mix it up strongly and
put it in the water. the tree will stay green till next Christmas.
