When is one allowed to eat a fruit from Eretz Yisroel without giving trumah?
When I was in Israel we picked pomegranates directly off the trees and eat them. I was told this was okay because it had something to do with being under the tree.
My question is two-fold,
Firstly, what is the source for this?
Secondly, does this mean literally under the tree or is it just a figure of speech?
