Tosefta for Pesachim 112:2
ומתירין גמזיות של הקדש של חרוב ושל שקמה אמרו אבותינו לא הקדישו אלא קורות ואנו נתיר גמזיות של הקדש של חרוב ושל שקמה ובגידולין הבאין לאחר מכאן עסקינן וסברי לה כמ"ד אין מעילה בגידולין ורבנן סברי נהי דמעילה ליכא איסורא מיהא איכא:
And they permitted the branches of carob and sycamore trees of hekdesh.' They said: Our fathers sanctified nought but tree trunks, hence we will permit [for use] the branches of hekdesh of carob and sycamore trees. Now we discuss the growth which came after that;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sc. after the trees had been dedicated.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
Tosefta Peah
[With respect to] a homeowner that gave peah to the poor, he has no right to say to them, "Take the seeds and give me the flax-stalks," [or] "Take the dates and give me the upper palm branches" (=מכבדות, see Pes. 56b:3, following Steinsaltz). [If] they (i.e., the produce) fell and afterwards he designated them for peah, he is not liable [in the laws of] peah except as to the seeds. [?]
