For 3 years after planting a tree, one may not eat its fruit, nor derive any benefit from the fruit, peels or pits. This is a Torah prohibition and applies to trees planted anywhere on the planet by anybody.

How to count these 3 years:

• Trees planted until Tu B’av (July 26 – 15th of the month of Av; 45 days before Rosh Hashana) have their first birthday on Rosh Hashana, and 2 years later they turn “three years old”.
• Trees planted less than 45 days before Rosh Hashana need to count three years from their first Rosh Hashana.

The laws of  Orlo apply to trees grown from shoots or pits, and sometimes to trees that have been replanted. A tree that has was cut and its stump is less than 1 Tefach (about 9 cm) high becomes Orlo again.

One does not say Tachanun on Tu B’Av, nor at Mincha the afternoon before. The bride and groom do not  fast on their wedding day if  it’s on Tu B’Av.
