Tu B’Shevat - New Year for the Trees
This is the Rosh HaShanah for trees. Again, as mentioned above in connection with the "First of Elul" Rosh HaShanah, the significance is primarily in connection with "Maasrot," tithing, or taking tenths. The dates of ripening of different agricultural species, say wheat, on one hand, and apples and oranges representing the "fruit-of-the-tree" group, are different. Also, since one may not calculate the "tenth" for a given year using produce from a different year, it is important to know the calendar definitions of ripening which apply to the various species.
