Pruning aravos on a sabbatical year
Question
There is an arava (willow) tree in my back yard. Am I allowed to prune the ends of branches so many new branches will sprout, which will be used to fulfill the mitzva of the “four kinds”?
Answer
It’s forbidden to prune willow branches on the sabbatical year so that more branches will grow on the tree.
