Question
Is it permissible to plant the myrtles, willows, and etrog (from the Beit Din's storehouse) that I used this year for the mitzvah during the Sukkot holiday? And is there a prohibition because they are sacred with the sanctity of the Shemitah year?
Answer
Hello
There is no prohibition against planting the species used for the mitzvah. However, this year, as we are at the end of the Shemitah year, it is forbidden to plant the etrog, which has the sanctity of the Shemitah year, but the myrtles and willows are permitted, as they do not have the sanctity of the Shemitah year.
