May one recite Shehechiyanu on grafted fruits and hybrid vegetables?[1]
This matter is debated amongst the Poskim, and practically the blessing should not be recited if one knows for certain that a Kilayim prohibition took place with that particular tree from which one is eating the fruit. However, according to all one may recite the blessing over a species of hybrid fruit if the fruit was grown from a seed of the hybrid fruit and not from direct Kilayim.
