OPINION & COMMENT Tu B'Shevat—Rosh Hashanah for Trees or Agricultural Holiday? The 15 of Shevat, Tu B'Shevat, determines the new year of the fruit trees in Eretz Yisroel. If of the first, second, fourth, or fifth year they are ma'aser sheini; if of the third or sixth year they are ma'aser oni. If they are of the seventh year they are peiros Shmittah. The minhag among Jews throughout the world is to eat a variety of fruit on that day in order to thank and praise the Creator Who provides us with fruit.
