When blessing over a fruit from a tree and having a natural juice in front, should one also bless over the juice?
When eating fruit before drinking its juice, one should make a blessing over the fruit with the intention to exempt the juice. However, if eating a different fruit before drinking natural fruit juice, one should explicitly intend not to exempt the juice, or preferably say the blessing for the juice first. If, after the fact, one blessed over the fruit without any specific intention, one should not make another blessing [Otzrot Yosef 4].
