If one delayed reciting the blessing until after the fruit had grown on the trees, may one still recite it?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules the opportunity is lost once fruit has grown; the Gra and Eliyah Rabbah disagree, holding the blessing may still be recited; the Mishnah Berurah attempts to reconcile all views, ruling practically that once fruit is fully ripe (eligible for Shehecheyanu), this blessing should no longer be said.
