21. Symbolic Tree Planting: „Apple Tree“ • Malus Domestica ’Roter Boskoop’ • Martin Luther (1483-1546): • „Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces,I would still plant my apple tree. “

22. Symbolic Tree Planting: „Apple Tree“ • The name of the apple tree is “malus” (meaning disaster or damage), which has its roots in Christian theology and symbolises the temptation of the apple which led to the expulsion from paradise. • Today we are faced with modern temptations and therefore the apple tree should remind us to take our responsibilities seriously and to consider our actions and their consequences carefully.

23. Symbolic Tree Planting: „Apple Tree“ • The fact that the apple tree will be planted by many people together in front of the university entrance is of strong symbolic value. • The tree will thrive because it will be well-cared for, like our university educational system. Its fruit should be of benefit to many, like the results from research and development at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences.
