# It is permissible to make a Bracha on a tree that is within 3 years of being planted even though it is considered Orlah. <ref> Chazon Ovadyah ([[Pesach]] pg 19), Dovev Meisharim 3:5, and Chelkat Yaakov 2:27 (2:56). Divrei Malkiel 3:2 rules that if one is sure that it is an orlah tree then he shouldn't say the Bracha on it. </ref> | # It is permissible to make a Bracha on a tree that is within 3 years of being planted even though it is considered Orlah. <ref> Chazon Ovadyah ([[Pesach]] pg 19), Dovev Meisharim 3:5, and Chelkat Yaakov 2:27 (2:56).

# It is questionable whether one may make a Bracha on a fruit tree which did not produce fruit the year one makes the Bracha. <Ref>Mishnat Yosef 1:60 writes that even if in that year it does not carry fruit but it is however a fruit tree one may make the Bracha.

Chemdat Avraham 2:10 says it is not lechatchila but if there is no other tree you can make the Bracha. </ref> | # It is questionable whether one may make a Bracha on a fruit tree which did not produce fruit the year one makes the Bracha. <Ref>Mishnat Yosef 1:60 writes that even if in that year it does not carry fruit but it is however a fruit tree one may make the Bracha.
