One Who is Unsure if the Beracha Should be Ha'etz or Hadama

One Who is Unsure if the Beracha Should be Ha'etz or Hadama Day: Monday Date: December 28, 2015 Parshat: Shemot Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 202 The beracha on most all fruits grown on a tree, regardless whether or not it is one of the seven species of Eretz Yisrael is ha'etz. If a person is unsure whether the beracha on such an item is ha'etz or ha'adamah, he should say ha'adamah. There are those poskim who maintain that if one is unsure he should say shehakol. However, it is far more preferable to say a more specific beracha whenever possible and therefore when it comes to fruits and vegetables he should say ha'adamah.
