<div dir="ltr">I found my copy of "halichot sadeh" from 17 years ago! Throughout the years they list<br>the percentages of fruit and land that is orlah for each fruit.<br>In that issue there was a very short description of the rules<br>
<br>According to R. Elyashiv (it seemed to indicate not everyone agrees) If the trees are widespread<br>in EY there MIGHT be a problem of Orlah even for low percentages because of Kavuah.<br>Today (ie 17 years ago) there are places in EY where there is no Orlah because that area<br>
has many religious settlements and because of hasgachot and also because there are no new<br>plantings. Thus, they conclude that only if the amount of land that has Orlah is more than<br>20% of the total is there any suspicion of Orlah. In that year the estimate was that no commodity<br>
had more than 15% of the land Orlah.<br>There are other opinions that disagree and allow the food if less than 50% of the produce is Orlah.<br><br><br>some examples (4 years ago - last volume I have)<br><br>pears 0.5% Orlah<br>
Apricots 4.5%<br>Nectarines 4.2%<br>Peaches 1.8%<br>Olives for food 0.02%<br>olives for oil 3.4%<br>Grapes 1.2%<br>Apples under 1%<br>figs 1%<br>plums 1.6%<br><br>some varieties that mighty have a problem according to R. Elyashi<br>
apricot - early spring<br>nectarine - gali, 5-15<br>grapes - crimson<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Eli Turkel<br>
