    I would assume that it is forbidden because Orlah is “asur behana’a,” which means that one can not have any use or benefit from it in any way. However, because this is such a specifically detailed question, I would recommend that you contact one of the large Kashrus authorities, such as the OU (www.ou.org), the Star-K (www.star-k.org) or the London Beth Din (www.kosher.org.uk) for a definitive answer.
