Related to mi.yodeya.com/questions/6715/birchas-illonos-questions , but I won't mark this a duplicate, since it's a bit more specific, and since this aspect of the other question didn't get answered yet. – Isaac Moses Apr 27 '11 at 15:46

Since the Bracha is for Ilanos - which is a Lashon Rabim - therefore there are Poskim that say that it is preferable to say it on a minmum of 2 trees. However there are many stories of Gedolim that have said it on an individual tree.
