Tu BiShvat Its Meaning and Purpose | Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe

The 15th of Shevat on the Jewish calendar—celebrated this year on Thursday, January 28, 2021—is the day that marks the beginning of a "new year" for trees. Commonly known as TuBishvat, this day marks the season in which the earliest-blooming trees in the Land of Israel emerge from their winter sleep and begin a new fruit-bearing cycle.
