תלמוד על נזיר 6:10
Jerusalem Talmud Orlah
“A sunk branch which became separated.” Rebbi Yudan said, not only a sunk branch but even a tree134A tree older than 3 years, full of fruits, becomes ‘orlah again if uprooted (with its roots exposed) and replanted, and the fruits will become forbidden if they grow by more than one 200th.; as Rebbi Assi said in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan, if an onion which one uprooted and replanted grows roots he has to tithe for everything135Discussed in Ševi‘it 6:3, Note 113. The parallel statement in the Babli (Nazir 54b, Menaḥot 70a), R. Isaac in the name of R. Joḥanan, makes it clear that the onion was fully tithed before being replanted.. Rebbi Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan, if an onion which one uprooted and replanted grows roots he has to tithe for everything, but you should not say it applies to here also136The quote from R. Joḥanan is correct, the inference is faulty; trees do not have the same rules as onions..
