The Bracha Rishona on Esrog is Borei Pri Haetz, and the Bracha Acharona is Borei Nefashos.
The Bracha is Haetz if prepared in a tasty manner, since otherwise it is not good for consumption.
Blessed are You Hashem our God king of the universe, Who creates the fruit of the trees.
Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech Haolam Borei Pri Haetz.
Blessed are You, Hashem our God, King of the universe, Who creates numerous living things with their deficiencies; for all that You have created with which to maintain the life of every being. Blessed is He, the life of the worlds.
Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech Haolam, Borei Nefashos Rabos V'chesronan Al Kol Ma Shebarasa L'hachayos Bahem Nefesh Kol Chai, Baruch Chei Haolamim.
