[Avodah] Terumos Umaaseros

[Ilana Elzufon]

RLK: Doesn't the keviut of fruit for terumot and maasrot go after chanata
and not lekita? As such, it would be squarely on the shoulders of the
farmer to make sure to properly label which fruit are from which year
should any be blossoming around this time.

I'm not a farmer, but it seems to me that the only trees blossoming at tu
bishvat (at least here in EY) are almond trees (hashkediah porachat....)
and that they are still pre-chanata. That is why tu bishvat is a good
cut-off, because there isn't much to get confused about. But I am open to
correction by those with greater botanical/agricultural/halachic knowledge.
