Question
Which fruits are permitted to buy in the Sabbatical year?
Answer
Most winter fruits can be purchased without concern, but it is important to verify with various calendars that the fruits indeed set in the sixth year. In this Sabbatical year, תשפ"ב, the main issue is with pecan nuts. However, loquat, for example, is a fruit that sets after Rosh Hashanah and is prohibited, as well as all summer fruits that set in the seventh year, which are subject to the laws of Shemitah.
