Reference for Taanit 38:4
לזה ולזה אבל לא לבורות ולא לשיחין ומערות משכחת לה דאתיא רזיא וניחא מיהו טובא לא אתיא אלא הא דתניא ירדו לבורות לשיחין ולמערות אבל לא לזה ולזה היכי משכחת לה דאתיא בשפיכותא
But is it possible for rain to fall for cisterns, ditches and caves and yet not be beneficial for both of these [crops and trees] as has been taught in the Baraitha? - When the rain is torrential. Our Rabbis have taught: The alarm [for rain] for the trees is sounded during the middle of the Passover [season],<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 'half'. This is explained by J. T. (Sheck. III, 47b) to mean half of the thirty days before the feast, i.e., within fifteen days before the feast.');"><sup>1</sup></span>
