It on? I read the FJJ where one of the articles said you can't say shehecheyanu on carob, why? What can we say it on?

You can say it on any fruit that you haven't yet eaten this year.

That’s wrong. It also has to be a different kind of fruit that’s not available year round. I also don’t know which ones are ok

I guess you have a different minhag that I do.

"Some have the custom to make an effort and eat at least one fruit which one has not eaten that entire season, and would require the blessing of Shehecheyanu. When eating such a fruit, the Shehecheyanu should be said prior to reciting the blessing of "Haetz." If he has already partaken of other fruits (at that particular sitting) than he only needs to say the Shehecheyanu upon eating the new fruit."

Don't you have your own rabbanim and minhagim? Who is the FJJ to you?

I learned it can't be dried fruit and has to be on something that has a "season"
