Commentary for Berakhot 69:4
הניחא למאן דתני נטע רבעי אלא למאן דתני כרם רבעי מאי איכא למימר דאתמר ר' חייא ור' שמעון ברבי חד תני כרם רבעי וחד תני נטע רבעי
It is quite right according to him who teaches "the planting of the fourth year"; but according to him who teaches "the vineyard of the fourth year" what is there to say? For it has been reported : R. Hiyya and R. Simeon b. Rabbi [differ] ; one teaches "The vineyard of the fourth year," the other teaches "The planting of the fourth year."

Abraham Cohen Footnotes to the English Translation of Masechet Berakhot
That Lev. xix. 24 refers to all fruit of the fourth year and not to the vine only; consequently the second deduction from hillulim need not be used to prove that only the vine requires redemption, but can be used to show that a benediction is required when partaking of fruits.

Since the second deduction from hillulim is required to prove that only the vine required redemption, how does he show that a benediction is required when partaking of fruits?
