Tu'Beshvat

http://www.aish.com/tubshvat/tubshvatinterests/Man_Is_a_Tree.asp

Tu B'Shvat is technically the day when trees stop absorbing water from the ground, instead they draw nourishment from their sap. In Jewish law, this means that fruit blossomed before the 15th of Shvat could not be used as money for fruit which blossomed after that date.
