Dies vor allem auch deshalb, da nach Bereitstellung eines städtischen Grundstückes auf dem Gelände des Gartenamtes, sowohl der Bayerische Landesverband für Gartenbau und Landespflege, als auch der Stadtkreisverband für Gartenbau und Landespflege Ingolstadt, mit seinen 11 Obst- und Gartenbauvereinen (ca. 3.000 eingetragene Mitglieder und ca. 5.000 Familienangehörige), bereit war, die Materialkosten zu tragen. Damit steht nicht nur den Vereinsmitgliedern der Obst- und Gartenbauvereine, der Siedlervereinigung, den Kleingärtnern, der Landwirtschaft, u.a. ein obstbaulicher Fachgarten zur Information zur Verfügung, sondern er dient allen Gartenfreunden der Bevölkerung als Beispiel für die Anzucht unterschiedlicher Kulturformen von Obstgehölzen, alter und neuer Sorten, die für den privaten Garten geeignet sind. Deshalb ist die Eröffnung des Ingolstädter Obstlehrgartens ein gartenbauliches Ereignis, ganz im Sinne jahrzehntelanger gartenkultureller Tradition Ingolstadts. Der bereitwilligen Unter- stützung des Projektes durch die Stadt Ingolstadt gilt mein persönlicher Dank.

The mpI ortance of Geographic and Biological Variables in Predicting the Naturalization of Non-Native Woody Plants in the Upper Midwest Abstract The es lection, introduction, and cultivation of non-native woody plants beyond their native ranges can have great benefits, but also unintended consequences. Among these consequences is the tendency for some species to naturalize and become invasive pests in new environments to which they were introduced. In lieu of lengthy and costly field trials, risk-assessment models can be used to predict the likelihood of naturalization.
