Reply To: Making a Barocho on a Blossoming Tree in Nissan

It’s obvious that the birchat ha’ilan is for blossoming trees in Nissan in Eretz Yisrael. Applying it to Chutz La’aretz may be halachically sound, but it’s trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. The lemon trees in my neighborhood are in full bloom in Nissan and on my tree I’m already seeing fruit alongside the blossoms.
Why play “pretend”? Come home to Israel , the Torah was written for this land.
