Training melons and watermelons to grow vertically is referred to as trellising and is one of the advantages of growing melons in a high tunnel. Most melon cultivars and personal size (less than 7 pounds) watermelon cultivars are amenable to trellising.
A direct public offering (DPO), like the more traditional IPO, is a stock's introduction to the stock market. The stock is offered to the public for the first time. Unlike an IPO, which utilizes an underwriter to sell shares to the public, DPO shares are purchased directly from the issuing company.
IPO stands for initial public offering. When the news media report that a company is going public, this means that company is making an initial public offering. This means that the company is offering its shares for sale to the public for the first time. An IPO is a way for a company to raise money for its growth and upcoming projects.
