Peah 1:4-5

Peah 1:4

Generally speaking, things that are food, that are protected (as opposed to hefker), that grow from the ground, and that are all harvested at once (as opposed to fruits, which ripen at different rates and are picked intermittently) are required to have peah left. Grain and beans fall within this required category.

Peah 1:5

Some trees that are required in peah include carob, nuts, almonds, grapes (which grow on vines), pomegranates, olives and palm trees.
