New Fruit During the Nine Days

Question

Is it permissible to eat lychee during the Nine Days without reciting the Shehecheyanu blessing, or should one refrain from eating it?

Answer

If one can wait and eat it after Tisha B'Av, they should not eat it to avoid reciting the Shehecheyanu blessing. However, if it will not be available after Tisha B'Av, or there is doubt whether it will be available, one may eat it and recite the Shehecheyanu blessing.
