Tu B'Shvat starts tonight (Wednesday evening).
Tu B'Shvat - the 15th of the month of Shvat - is the New Year as far as tithing fruits is concerned.
Fruit from trees that blossomed before Tu B'Shvat belong to the previous year's Trumot & Ma'aser quota.
The custom is to eat more fruit than usual on Tu B'Shvat.
One does not say Tachanun on Tu B'Shvat, nor at Mincha the day before.
