Tosefta for Pesachim 112:8
כל שהוא אוכל פרט לספיחי סטיס וקוצה ונשמר פרט להפקר וגידולו מן הארץ פרט לכמהין ופטריות ולקיטתן כאחת פרט לתאנים ומכניסו לקיום פרט לירק
place are permitted now that they have fallen to earth, for since none grow there, there was never any fear that he might go up and cut off the growing dates. - Though this explanation removes several difficulties, Tosaf. observes that it raises a practical difficulty: how is one to distinguish between those which fell down before the Festival and those which fell on the Festival itself, and those which had fallen on the upper branches in the first place and those which had first fallen on the lower branches?
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. [?]
