Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 173

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

In the Kitzur, a safek orlah is treated stringently in Eretz Yisrael and leniently outside it. The Kitzur takes the stringent view that neta revai, the fourth year's fruit, applies even outside Eretz Yisrael, without entirely disregarding the other view. From there the Kitzur turns to kilayim: grafting trees, sowing seeds and the vineyard, and working two species of animals together.

Key points

• The Kitzur applies orlah to every part of the tree, but revai only to edible fruit.
• Outside Eretz Yisrael the Kitzur has revai redeemed without a bracha, and some are lenient even about that.
• The Kitzur forbids grafting two tree species, even outside Eretz Yisrael, though the grafted tree's fruit is permitted.
• In Chutz La'aretz, the Kitzur limits kilei kerem to two species sown together with a grape seed.
• The Kitzur forbids even sitting on a wagon two species pull, since the animals feel the weight.
