Birchas Hailanos 2014/5774 List of fruit trees in the USA.

Birchas hailanos blessing on fruit tree
With a few days left until Rosh Chodesh Iyar 5774 here is the list of places where one could make a Bracha on a tree for Birchas ilanos 2014/5774. The list is courtesy of Misaskim  a comprehensive list of fruit trees throughout the USA and Canada. Although the list is from 2012 we can assume most of the trees should still be standing except for those that were knocked down by Hurricane Sandy. Most poskim agree that the halachah mentions Nissan since generally, that is the month in which trees begin to bloom  one may recite the Bracha even after Rosh Chodesh Iyar as long as the tree is still Blossoming. see Mishna Berurah 226:1   HERE
