When transplanting a young tree, use a pair of hand pruners to snip away smaller lower hanging branches. Pruning young trees helps the root system take hold and promotes growth of their crown, or the top of the tree. Use hand pruners and snip any smaller branches growing inward towards the leader. These branches rub against the tree as they grow and will damage it over time. Branches growing towards the leader don’t get enough sunlight to stay healthy. For young trees, it’s best if their branches are spaced 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart from each other. Over-pruning can damage the tree, so make sure that you leave at least 2/3rds of the branches each time you prune it. Pruning outgrowing branches should start as soon as you plant the tree. This will keep it aesthetically pleasing and promotes healthy growth.  Cutting the leader when the tree is young will inhibit the tree’s growth. Pruning trees when they are young is much easier than pruning adult trees.

One-sentence summary -- Cut lower hanging branches after transplanting a tree. Cut branches that are growing vertically or towards the leader. Snip away branches that are growing too close to each other. Prune the tree to shape it but don't cut the leader.

Q: You can usually check your balance at any ATM, even if it’s not owned by your bank. Look for an ATM at local bank branches, grocery stores, gas stations, and some retail locations. At the bank, there should be an outside ATM that's available 24 hours a day and an inside ATM that's available during business hours. At other locations, they're typically located in either the front or the back of the store.  Many banks have a drive-up ATM that you can use without getting out of your car. It’s best to use ATMs that are indoors because they’re less likely to be tampered with by thieves. However, it’s usually safe to use outdoor ATMs, so don’t worry if that’s your only option. Check the diagram on the machine to find out which side the card’s strip needs to be on. Then, slide your card into the machine’s card slot. Leave the card in during the transaction or pull it out, depending on how the machine works. This is the 4-digit number you received or set up when you got your debit card. Type it in using the keypad, then select enter. If someone is waiting to use the ATM after you, cover the keypad so they can’t see what you enter. Most machines will display all of your banking options. Choose the one that says “balance.” Then, select the type of receipt you want. It may display your balance on the screen. However, some machines only show your balance on your receipt. You can typically get a paper receipt or e-receipt. This will show you your current balance. If the machine displays your balance on the screen, you might choose not to get a receipt. Some machines log you out automatically, but others let you select another option. To make sure your account information stays safe, push the button to log out or to complete your transaction. Make sure you also take your card back if you haven’t already. If the machine holds your card while you complete your transaction, it will slowly eject from the card slot once you complete your transaction.
A: Find an ATM in-person or using your phone. Insert your debit card into the ATM. Type in your personal identification number (PIN) code. Select the option to view your bank balance. Take the receipt that shows your account balance. Log out of the machine.

Article: Find that person you know will be real with you, and ask their opinion. Often when we're in crush-mode we can't get a good perspective on the situation. Your friend may be seeing something you don't, and could save you a lot of heartache, or she could give you the extra push you need to make a move and ask him out. Guys who are already in relationships are sometimes extra attractive to single girls. It may be because one girl has already given him her approval as boyfriend material, so you know he probably has good qualities.  You may feel competitive with the other girl, or you may get a temporary self-esteem boost from stealing someone else's guy. Let their relationship run its course and only pursue the guy when he's single. Does he spend all weekend in a dark room playing video games while you prefer to be out hiking and camping in your free time? Do you have similar values? Being different doesn't have to be a deal breaker--you may end up really complimenting each other and learning about things you never knew you liked. Consider if your differences can be worked through. If part of his personality is that he's a huge flirt and that makes you uncomfortable, it might lead to major problems down the road. Ultimately, it's up to you to figure out whether or not you like this guy--you know yourself better than anyone else. Don't make yourself crazy or miserable trying to figure it out. When you feel something as intense as a crush, it can seem like the most important thing in the world. But remember there's more to life than this one guy--don't forget about your friends, your schoolwork, your family, or that there are tons of other guys out there!
