Commentary for Berakhot 71:22
רבינא אשכחיה למר בר רב אשי דקא זריק אביונות וקאכיל קפריסין א"ל מאי דעתך כר' עקיבא דמיקל ולעביד מר כב"ש דמקילי טפי דתנן צלף ב"ש אומרים כלאים בכרם וב"ה אומרים אין כלאים בכרם אלו ואלו מודים שחייב בערלה
Rabina found Mar b. Rab Ashe throwing away the berries and eating the caper-buds. He said to him : What is thy opinion — like R. 'Akiba's who takes the lenient view? Then let the master act in accord with Bet Shammai who take a still more lenient view. For there is a Mishnaic teaching : In the case of the caper-bush. Bet Shammai say : It constitutes Kila'im in a vineyard ; but Bet Hillel say : It does not. Both, however, admit that it is subject to 'Orlah.
