Fresh fruit is always Kosher, however, it may have an עָרְלָה problem, as per yesterday and Sunday's Halocho.
When in doubt if the tree is less than 4 years old:
- In Israel, the fruit of such a tree is forbidden. (This is one of the reasons that fruit needs Rabbinic Supervision in Israel. Other issues include Shmita, נֶטַע רְבָעִי and the separation of Terumot and Ma'asrot.)
- Outside of Israel, the fruit is allowed, as long as you don’t pick it yourself. This is the way Moshe was given the Halocho at Har Sinai.

סְפֵק עָרְלָה, בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל אָסוּר, וּבְסוּרְיָא מֻתָּר, וּבְחוּצָה לָאָרֶץ יוֹרֵד וְלוֹקֵחַ, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יִרְאֶנּוּ לוֹקֵט
