Today is one of the final days we can recite the once a year special blessing made upon seeing a fruit tree in bloom.
A truck with a fruit tree is driving around Crown Heights between 3 pm – 6 pm to offer isolated residents a chance to perform the Mitzvah from home.

A special mitzvah, which can be fulfilled only once a year, is to recite the brachah (“blessing” or prayer) made upon seeing a fruit tree in bloom:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’ אֱ-לֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם שֶׁלֹּא חִסַּר בְּעוֹלָמוֹ כְּלוּם וּבָרָא בוֹ בְּרִיּוֹת טוֹבוֹת וְאִילָנוֹת טוֹבוֹת לֵהָנוֹת בָּהֶם בְּנֵי אָדָם.
Blessed are you G-d our G-d, king of the universe, who left nothing lacking in His world, and created within it good creatures and good trees with which He gives pleasure to people.
The truck is sponsored by Debby Event Design.

None of the weddings came to malbone and the Sefer Torah’s don’t come either. Maybe ask if they can come down malbone street.
Doesn’t the tree need to have blossoms in order to make a Bracha?
