Halakhah for Orlah 3:7

שֶׁהָיָה רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר, אֶת שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ לִמָּנוֹת, מְקַדֵּשׁ. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵינוֹ מְקַדֵּשׁ אֶלָּא שִׁשָּׁה דְבָרִים בִּלְבָד. וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, שִׁבְעָה. וְאֵלּוּ הֵם, אֱגוֹזֵי פֶרֶךְ, רִמּוֹנֵי בָדָן, וְחָבִיּוֹת סְתוּמוֹת, וְחֻלְפוֹת תְּרָדִין, וְקֻלְסֵי כְרוּב, וּדְלַעַת יְוָנִית. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, אַף כִּכָּרוֹת שֶׁל בַּעַל הַבָּיִת. הָרָאוּי לְעָרְלָה, עָרְלָה. לְכִלְאֵי הַכֶּרֶם, כִּלְאֵי הַכָּרֶם:

As Rabbi Meir used to say, if it is the normal way to count [an object, individually], then it renders everything as holy [and thereby forbidden]. But the Sages say that only six things render everything as holy; while Rabbi Akiva says there are seven. They are: nuts with brittle shells, and Badan pomegranates, and sealed jars, and beet shoots, and cabbage heads, and Greek gourds. Rabbi Akiva says, also loaves of bread of homeowners. That which is fit for the [laws of] <i>Orlah</i> is <i>Orlah</i>. That which is fit for [the laws of] <i> Kilayim</i> of the vineyard is <i> Kilayim</i> of the vineyard.

Sefer HaChinukh

And [related] to the creature that we are saying that it is significant and not neutralized - we will say that which they, may their memory be blessed, said (Mishnah Orlah 3:7) that any significant thing is not neutralized, such as nuts with brittle shells, Badan pomegranates, sealed barrels [of wine], beet shoots, cabbage heads, Greek gourds and loaves [of bread] of homeowners. And Rambam, may his memory be blessed, wrote (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Forbidden Foods 16:9) that it is not specifically these seven things, but rather any significant thing; except that these were the significant things at the time of the Sages of the Mishnah, may their memory be blessed.
