Quotation for Rosh Hashanah 27:4
ואי אשמעינן הכל הולך אחר גמר פרי הוה אמינא אפילו תבואה וזיתים נמי קמ"ל הלכה כר' שמעון שזורי במאי דפליג
And if he had told us [only] that the determining factor is in all cases the full ripening, I should have said that this applies also to produce and olives. Therefore he tells us that the halachah follows R'Simeon Shezuri where he expresses a different view.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' From the Rabbis. That is, only in the case of beans etc. but not of produce, where Samuel would hold that the decisive factor is the growth of a third. [R. Hananel reads 'where they (R. Simeon b. Shezuri and the Rabbis) differ'].');"><sup>5</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
"when you gather in from your threshing-floor and your wine-press": Just as (the fruits of) threshing-floor and wine-press are distinct in that they grow by the water of the preceding year, and their tithes are given according to the tithing order of the preceding year, so, all things that grow by the water of the preceding year are tithed according to the tithing order of the preceding year — to exclude greens, which, not growing by the water of the preceding year, are tithed according to the tithing order of the year to come. These are the words of R. Yossi Haglili.
