# It's preferable to say the Birchat Hailanot in Nissan, however, if one didn't make the bracha yet, one may make it even after Nissan, and after the fact one may also make the bracha before Nissan. <ref> The gemara Brachot 43b writes that one who sees the budding of trees in Nissan should make the Brichat Hailanot. Many Rishonim (including Ritva [[Rosh Hashana]] 11a, Sefer Eshkol pg 68) comment that this bracha is commonly made in Nissan but doesn't have to be. So rules the Mishna Brurah 226:1 that the bracha may be made in months other than Nissan. Rav Ovadyah Yosef in Sh"t Yechave Daat 1:1 and Chazon Ovadyah (pg 25) argues that it should be made starting in Nissan (and not Adar to be strict for the opinions of the Halachot Ketanot 2:28 and Chida in Birkei Yosef 226:2) and if one didn't see it, one should still say it in Iyar. Sedei Chemed Berachot 2:1 and Kaf hachayim 126:1 both rule that one should not say the beracha before or after nissan. Nitei Gavriel (Pesach 6:2) writes that it should be said in Nissan. </ref> Nonetheless, in places that the trees bud in Adar one may make the bracha in Adar. <ref> Chazon Ovadyah (pg 28), Mishna Brurah 226:1, Aruch Hashulchan 226:1. </ref> | # It's preferable to say the Birchat Hailanot in Nissan, however, if one didn't make the bracha yet, one may make it even after Nissan, and after the fact one may also make the bracha before Nissan. <ref> The gemara Brachot 43b writes that one who sees the budding of trees in Nissan should make the Brichat Hailanot.

# Preferably, one should say Birkat HaIlanot the first time one sees a budding tree in Nissan, however, if one didn't one may still say Birchat HaIlanot even if one already saw a budding tree and didn’t make the Bracha the first time. <Ref>Halichot Shlomo (vol 1, 2:5), Chazon Ovadyah (Pesach pg 24), Nitei Gavriel (Pesach 6:9)Machatzit hashekel 226, Shaar hatziyun 226:3 and Badei Hashulchan 46:18. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 60:1 and Kaf Hachaim 226:9 say that if one failed to say the beracha upon seeing it for the first time he may no longer say it. </ref> | # Preferably, one should say Birkat HaIlanot the first time one sees a budding tree in Nissan, however, if one didn't one may still say Birchat HaIlanot even if one already saw a budding tree and didn’t make the Bracha the first time. <Ref>Halichot Shlomo (vol 1, 2:5), Chazon Ovadyah (Pesach pg 24), Nitei Gavriel (Pesach 6:9)Machatzit hashekel 226, Shaar hatziyun 226:3 and Badei Hashulchan 46:18.

# One may say Birchat HaIlanot even on [[Shabbat]], yet it's preferable to make it during the week if one won't miss out on making it. <ref> Chazon Ovadyah (Pesach pg 20), Nitei Gavriel (Pesach 6:9). Kaf Hachayim 226:4 quotes the Moed likol chai that the beracha should not be said on shabbat or yom tov because we are worried that he one may come to shake or break a branch. He adds that according to kabbalah the beracha should not be said on shabbat or yom tov. Rav Ovadia Yosef in Yechave Daat 1:2 writes that preferably one should not say it on shabbat unless it is the last day of nissan and he still hasn't said it. </ref> | # One may say Birchat HaIlanot even on [[Shabbat]], yet it's preferable to make it during the week if one won't miss out on making it. <ref> Chazon Ovadyah (Pesach pg 20), Nitei Gavriel (Pesach 6:9).
