The law if one said Borei Peri Ha’adama on a Haeitz fruit – Is he Yotzei?

Correct blessing is Haeitz:[1] If one accidentally recited the blessing of Ha’adama on a Haeitz fruit, then Bedieved he fulfills his obligation. [However, even in such a case, one should initially correct himself within Kdei Dibbur and recite the correct wording of Haeitz if he remembers within enough time. See Halacha 17??.] Accordingly, in the event that one is in doubt as to whether a certain agricultural doubt is a fruit of the ground or a fruit of a tree, or in the case that there is a is a Halachic doubt as to the correct blessing due to a dispute amongst the Poskim[2], then one is to say the blessing of Hadama, as Hadama includes Haeitzs.[3] [If however one said Haeitz in such a case, he nevertheless fulfills his obligation as Safek Brachos Lihakel.[4]]

Summary:

Yotzei Bedieved.
