Herunterbinden: - Steile Seitentriebe waagerecht herunterbinden damit sich kurze Seitenäste mit Blütenknospen bilden - Weiches, dehnbares Bindematerial verwenden (Kokosseil oder Schlauchband) und nicht zu stark einschnüren

Der richtige Zeitpunkt für den Schnitt: - Kleine Bäume im späten Herbst - Große Bäume im Frühjahr @SaWa #Apfelbaum #Schnitt #Rückschnitt #Ertrag #Früchte #Äpfel

Erster Schnitt direkt nach der Pflanzung: - Steile Seitenäste, die dem Mitteltrieb Konkurrenz machen, entfernen - Mitteltrieb und alle Seitentriebe für bessere Verzweigung leicht kürzen

Rückschnitt im Herbst nach der Pflanzung zum Aufbau der Krone: - Steil nach oben wachsende Seitenzweige entfernen und lange unverzweigte Triebe kürzen - Triebe, die in die Krone wachsen, sich zu stark nach unten biegen oder aneinander reiben, entfernen - Diesen Schnitt ca. fünf Jahre lang wiederholen

Schnitt zur Erhaltung der Fruchtbarkeit: - Ins Kroneninnere wachsende Triebe weiterhin entfernen - Zu dichte Kronenpartien auslichten damit die Früchte viel Sonnenlicht bekommen und gut reifen können - Älteres, abgetragenes Fruchtholz, das stark nach unten überhängt bis zu einem jüngeren Seitenzweig zurückschneiden

"Juniknip" - Sommerschnitt gegen Pilzbefall und zur Regulierung des Wachstums: - Von Ende Juni bis Mitte Juli - Vor allem einjährige, senkrecht hochwachsende Triebe auf größeren Ästen direkt am Ansatz entfernen - Unverzweigte Spitzen von Leittrieb und Seitenästen über einer nach unten zeigenden Knospe einkürzen

Fruchtbehang ausdünnen: - Damit sich der Baum bei der Fruchtbildung nicht verausgabt an jedem Fruchtstand nur ein bis zwei Äpfel stehen lassen

Schnittwunden verschließen: - Kein Muss - Gesundheit des Baumes hängt hauptsächlich vom richtigen und regelmäßigen Schnitt ab - Alle Schnittwunden größer der Fläche einer Euromünze können, um Pilzbefall und Infektionen vorzubeugen, mit einem Wundverschluss aus Gartencenter oder Baumarkt bestrichen werden

Begrünung im Inneren der Baumkrone - weniger ist mehr: - Ältere Bäume mit einer schön ausgebildeten Krone müssen nicht unbedingt jedes Jahr geschnitten werden - Zur Vermeidung von Stress und für einen guten Stoffwechsel nicht zu viel auf einmal abschneiden (15 - 20 % Auslichtung dünnerer Äste und Zweige)

Werkzeug: - Handsäge und Astschere - Kleinere Zweige die entfernt werden können auch direkt ausgerissen werden, da Risswunden schneller verheilen als Schnittwunden - Bei größeren Bäumen Leiter und / oder Apfelpflücker verwenden

Society and government at all levels - the state level, the local level and, of course, the federal level - really needs to redouble its efforts if we're really going to make a difference in combating autism.

There's people that are just in awe of what you do, and then there are people who just think it's garbage. And I think there are people who are just uncomfortable seeing someone have fun with their job.

We are finally entering an exciting time in medicine where we have the technology to custom-tailor treatment and preventive protocols just as we'd custom-tailor a suit or designer gown to one's individual body. But it all begins with you. You have to know yourself in a manner that you've probably never done before.

When there's a good script, everybody circles.

If you continue to act like an artist as you get older, you'll increasingly feel pressure. People will question your actions.

You know you've made it when you've been moulded in miniature plastic. But you know what children do with Barbie dolls - it's a bit scary, actually.

I see people having fits because their coffee is too hot or their baked potato is too cold, or some random something is imperfect and somebody can be blamed for it. These people can fly off the handle and nobody says, 'Too much beef will do that to a person.' If it's a vegan: a clear case of alfalfa sprout poisoning.

If anything, I was the opposite of most college students who think they can do anything.

If I wake up in the middle of the night and have an idea, I want to go to my computer and be able to do it. So I hired someone at Guitar Center to come over to my house and teach me Logic music program, and I learned it over a couple months.

The social sciences were for all those who had not yet decided what to do with their lives, and for all those whose premature frustrations led them into the sterile alleys of confrontation.

I was sort of in denial about doing country for awhile but I sort of grew up and realized who I was, what I wanted to say. I think country music is the best music in the world and I'm glad to be doing a country album. I hope people will love it as much as I loved making it.

Most politicians are not authentic.

I've diced with death the most cycling around London. Black cabs are far more dangerous than polar bears.

Anyway, I tried liking Jimmy Corrigan but I couldn't.

I wanted a CFO with public company experience; I needed an HR department, new office space, and a board which could help me grow the business. Insight, the private equity firm I chose, helped me with all that.

I don't see my artist friends as any more neurotic or addiction-prone than the others. The roommates I have had who were into triathlons or environmentalism were just as crazy as the poets, just as prone to tears over gardening or air conditioners, just as ready to kite a cheque or binge on cookie dough.

My mum was very conscious about fashion and my dad was born into the tailoring tradition, so fashion has always been my life, although now, really, I wear the same thing - just in different weights - light and heavy cashmere in winter and cotton in summer.

I really don't think that the Oscar changed my career much because I didn't want it to.

Let's get with it, guys: You don't need to hear a Ministry song to get political. You should be political on your own. We're just a side project to society. So do I care what people think about me personally? No. I just do what I do.

I'm really not a celebrity; I'm just a teacher.

When I'm recording my album, I want to be acting, or when I'm on set, I want to be making music. I guess we'll see how it turns out and which one overpowers the other... but I couldn't really see my life without them, both of them.

Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle, Old Age a regret.

Do I consider myself sexy? It all depends on the way I'm feeling. When I'm happy inside, that's when I feel most sexy.

And you find as a writer there are certain spots on the planet where you write better than others, and I believe in that. And New Orleans is one of them.
