[Avodah] Tu Bishvat

[Elazar M. Teitz]

>>It is brought in the name of Chasidei Ashkenaz that on Tu Beshvat one
should pray to have a good etrog the following succot

>Since there are shittot in the Gemarra who hold that an Etrog's kviut
maaser goes after Rosh Hashana like a vegetable, even though we pasken
l'maaseh that an etrog *does* follow Tu B'shvat, it still seems that the
etrog is the least relevant fruit of the holiday. Do you know what the
original source of this idea is?<

     What does k'vius l'ma'aseir have to do with it? An esrog is a tree, and Tu Bishvat is rosh hashana for trees -- meaning that it is yom hadin for trees. Hence, a t'filla for a good esrog is certainly a davar b'ito.
