Tractate of the Talmud about fruit that grows in the first three years during the Land of Israel

Orlah (Hebrew: ערלה, lit. "Blockage of Trees") is the tenth tractate of Seder Zeraim ("Order of Seeds") of the Mishnah and of the Talmud.[citation needed] It discusses the law of Leviticus 19:23 pertaining to any fruit bearing tree, whose fruits cannot be eaten during the first three years the tree produces fruit. The tractate generalizes this passage to discuss the broader topic of forbidden usufruct.[1]
