However, if one has not yet made the Bracha before the end of Nissan, it is permissible to make it even after Nissan.<ref> The Gemara [[Brachot]] 43b writes that one who sees the budding of trees in Nissan should make the Birchat Ilanot. Many Rishonim (including the Ritva [[Rosh Hashana]] 11a, Sefer Eshkol pg 68) comment that this Bracha is commonly made in Nissan but does not necessarily have to be made then. This is also the opinion of the Mishna Brurah 226:1 which states 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 and take into account the opinions of the Halachot Ketanot 2:28 and Chida in Birkei Yosef 226:2) and if one has not yet seen a tree in bloom, one should still say it in Iyar. Birkat Hashem 4: pg. 305 also says that bidieved, one may still recite the beracha on trees that are budding during Iyar. Sedei Chemed [[Berachot]] 2:1 and Kaf Hachayim 126:1 both rule that one should not say the Bracha 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></ins></div></td></tr>

However, if one has not yet made the Bracha before the end of Nissan, it is permissible to make it even after Nissan.<ref> The Gemara [[Brachot]] 43b writes that one who sees the budding of trees in Nissan should make the Birchat Ilanot. Many Rishonim (including the Ritva [[Rosh Hashana]] 11a, Sefer Eshkol pg 68) comment that this Bracha is commonly made in Nissan but does not necessarily have to be made then. This is also the opinion of the Mishna Brurah 226:1 which states 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 and take into account the opinions of the Halachot Ketanot 2:28 and Chida in Birkei Yosef 226:2) and if one has not yet seen a tree in bloom, one should still say it in Iyar. Birkat Hashem 4: pg. 305 also says that bidieved, one may still recite the beracha on trees that are budding during Iyar. Sedei Chemed [[Berachot]] 2:1 and Kaf Hachayim 126:1 both rule that one should not say the Bracha 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></del></div></td><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-added"></td></tr>
