Question

How do you tithe fruits that a friend brought me from the tree he has in his yard?

Answer

Hello,

You need to tithe as with definite tevel.

Terumah Gedolah — a small amount of the fruits, and there is no minimum measure, any part suffices.

Maaser Rishon — a tenth of the fruits.

From the Maaser Rishon, separate Terumat Maaser — a tenth of the Maaser Rishon.

Additionally, this year [5783], you need to separate Maaser Sheni — a tenth of the remaining fruits after separating Maaser Rishon. And redeem them [= transfer their sanctity] onto a coin worth a perutah.

The Terumah Gedolah and the Terumat Maaser should be wrapped in a bag and discarded in the trash. The coin should be destroyed, and the remaining fruits may be eaten.
