Kabbalah for Avodah Zarah 40:13

וצריכא דאי אשמעינן אילן בהא קאמר רבי מאיר כיון דלא פסיד משהי ליה אבל האי דכי משהי לה פסיד אימא מודי ליה לר' יהודה

And all three disputes are necessary; for were we told of the case of a tree only [we might think that] in that case R. Meir states his rule, for, since the non-Jew will not lose by letting it remain in the ground, he might leave it there, but in the other case, where he would lose by letting it remain in the soil, we might think that R. Meir would agree with R. Judah.
