Arlah for a transplanted or re-grown tree

Hi,

We have said that benefit from the fruit of a tree's first three years is prohibited. If a person transplants a tree, the three-year count re-starts.

If a tree is chopped down, but some piece of the trunk remains above the ground and the tree re-grows from that spot, the three-year count does not re-start.

(Code of Jewish Law Yoreh Deah 294:16, 18)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
