[Regarding] a fig tree which is standing in a courtyard, one may eat one [fig] at a time and is exempt [from tithes]; but if he combines [figs], he is obligated [to tithe them]. R' Shimon says: [He may take] one in his right hand and one in his left hand and one in his mouth. [If] one climbs to the top [of the tree], he may fill his lap [with figs] and eat [them without separating tithes].
