==Fruits or | ==Berries== | ||
# Blackberries are haetz.<ref>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.</ref> | |||
# Blueberries are haetz.<Ref>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.</ref> | |||
# Strawberries are haadama.<ref>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.</ref> | |||
# Cranberries are haadama.<Ref>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.</ref> | |||
# Raspberries are haadama.<Ref>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.</ref> | |||
