Assuming that things are the same with firstfruits then I wonder how that would work with the 2 main different types of plants?

For instance... a tree... which bears year after year after year....

Would the first fruits only be from the first year or from the first fruit from every year?

It seem that tomatoes etc would have first fruits every year because they have to be replanted.

How many apples from an apple tree does it take to fulfill first fruits? One? A dozen?
