  3. ↑ Kesef Mishneh, Hilchot Berachot, 4:6
  4. ↑ The Gemara Brachot 40a establishes that a tree is a plant that lasts from year to year. Rosh Brachot 6:23 cites a dispute between the Tosfot and Geonim whether a tree whose branches die from year to year and regenerate from the roots is considered a tree. Tosfot hold that it is a tree since the roots regenerate the rest of the tree. That was the opinion of the Maharam. The Tur 203:2 writes that the Rosh held like the Tosfot. However, the Geonim held it isn’t a tree since the branches themselves don’t last from year to year. Shulchan Aruch 203:3 writes that bananas are haadama because of the opinion of the geonim. Vezot Habracha p. 389 and Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 393, chapter 22) agree. Vezot Habracha (Birur Halacha ch. 31-2) quotes Rav Elyashiv as saying that one can recite haetz on an apple before a haadama on a banana and there's no concern since a banana is certainly haadama. Or Letzion 2:46:39 writes that haetz doesn't work for bananas at all even after the fact since is like the geonim to treat it as haadama completely.
  5. ↑ Vezot Habracha (Birur Halacha 31:2 p. 302) writes that since the minhag is to treat bananas as haadama they're not a doubt and one can have the apple first. Or Letzion 2:46:39 seems to agree.
  6. ↑ Yabia Omer 8:26:2, Vezot Habracha (Birur Halacha 31:2 p. 302) who is concerned for this opinion. Yalkut Yosef OC 203:3 wrote that some say that one should recite the haadama on the banana and have intent not to exempt the apple, then recite haetz on the apple.
  7. ↑ Birkei Yosef 203:1 and Kaf Hachaim 203:2 hold eggplant is haadama since the tree doesn't last more than three years. Vezot Habracha p. 392 agrees.
  8. ↑ Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 395, chapter 22)
  9. ↑ Vezot Habracha p. 393. Halachos of Brachos (Teshuvot 203:2) quotes Rav Shlomo Zalman that melons are haadama because of a doubt.
  10. ↑ Magen Avraham 203:1 writes that blackberries are haetz. Mishna Brurah 203:3 writes that the minhag is to recite haadama on berries that grow on stalks less than 3 tefachim. Igrot Moshe 1:85 writes that blackberries in America grow on stalks larger than 3 tefachim and therefore are haetz. Anytime there's a doubt about the size of the stalk one should recite haetz. Vezot Habracha p. 389 agrees.
  11. ↑ Mishna Brurah 203:3 writes that the minhag is to recite haadama on berries that grow on stalks less than 3 tefachim. Vezot Habracha p. 389 writes that regular blueberries are haetz since they grow on stalks that are taller than 3 tefachim. He mentions that some wild blueberries grow on plants smaller than 3 tefachim.
  12. ↑ Igrot Moshe 1:86 writes that the Mishna Brurah 203:3 means that strawberries (pazimkas) are haadama since the branches die from year to year but part of the roots above the ground remain year to year. Vezot Habracha p. 402 no. 82 writes that pazimkas aren’t strawberries but strawberries are still hadama.
  13. ↑ Halachos of Brachos (Teshuvot 203:1) quotes Rav Shlomo Zalman as saying that cranberries are haadama since the stalk is less than 3 tefachim. That is his conclusion on p. 394. Vezot Habracha p. 391 agrees. Rav Elyashiv (cited by Darshu 203:8 from Yisa Yosef 3:50) held it was haetz since they're edible.
  14. ↑ Vezot Habracha p. 395 writes that raspberries are haadama. He explains that the branches last three years but only produce fruit in the second year.

  117. ↑ Mishnah Berurah 202:39. The Taz (OC 204:15) writes that one should recite Ha’odama, since the Gemara writes that on the peel of the fruit of the caper bush one recites Ha’odama. The Taz maintains that the same holds true for other peels as well. The Magen Avrohom (202:17) writes that one should recite Ha’eitz. Unlike the peel of the caper which separates from the fruit while it grows, the orange peel is part of the fruit. The Pri Megadim (202:17) writes that the bracha is Shehakol. He explains that the ikar (main ingredient) in candied orange peels is the sugar or honey, which is Shehakol. The Mishna Brura concludes that since we are not sure which beracha to recite, one should recite Shehakol
