If one recited the wrong bracha on a fruit, does one fulfill the obligation?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that if one said borei pri ha'adama on tree fruit, one has fulfilled the obligation, since trees grow from the ground. However, if one said borei pri ha'etz on ground produce, one has not fulfilled the obligation. The Mishnah Berurah adds this applies even if one did so intentionally.
