# Some say that lemon, golden apple, and other citrus fruit are similar to the [[Etrog]] and depend on when they are picked while others argue that they are the same as all other fruit trees which depend on when the fruit has ripened. <Ref> The Rosh Sirleav (Sheviyit 9:4) holds that lemons are the same as Etrogim regarding Trumah and Maaser. So holds the Eshel Avraham Neemark (Sheviyit pg 117b). However, Sh”t Minchat Shlomo 1:51(22), and [[Shabbat]] HaAretz (Kuntres Acharon pg 118) argue that Etrog is unique. Chazon Ish (Sheviyit 7:16) writes that since there’s a doubt if these fruits would ripen in the 2nd year (before Tu Beshevat) and be picked in the 3rd year (after Tu Beshevat) [or if these fruits would ripen in the 3rd year and be picked in the 4th year] one should take both Maaser Sheni and then after redeeming the Maaser Sheni one should take also Maaser Ani which should be given to the poor. So holds Sh”t Mishpat Cohen 51:2 and Sefer Aser TeAser (pg 546). However, Chazon Ovadyah (Tu Beshevat pg 44-46) argues that in cases of doubt one doesn’t have to give Maaser Ani (and proves it from the Rambam (Maaser Sheni 1:11). </ref>
