Tu B’Shevat is first referred to in the late Second Temple period (515 BCE to 20 CE) when it was the cut-off date for levying the tithe on the produce of fruit trees. When Jewish colonists returned to Palestine during the 1930s, they reclaimed the barren land by planting trees where they could. It became customary to plant a tree for every newborn child – a cedar for a boy and a cypress or pine for a girl.
Tu B’Shevat (Tu Bishvat) is the 15th day of the Jewish months of Shevat.
This festival is also known as the “New Year for Trees” and is observed in Jewish communities in Australia.
