Just wanted to share: My Asian pear tree started blooming on Shabbos.

Yesterday (Sunday, the last day of Nissan) over a dozen people stopped by to say the bracha on trees in bloom.

Sheesh. I finally saw a tree in bloom yesterday and thought it was too late since it was already rosh chodesh.

Maybe you can still say the bracha. Here's a link to halachas on the subject: https://oukosher.org/passover/.....rees/

From the article — I bolded the pertinent sentence:
Quote:
If a tree blossomed in Nissan but one did not see it until later he may say the bracha as long as the fruit on the tree has not yet ripened (Mishna Berurah 226:4). However, one who saw a fruit tree in bloom during the month of Nissan but forgot or neglected to recite a blessing, may only recite the bracha up until the fruit has begun to grow (Mishna Berurah 226:5).
