Ulmus wallichiana-Kashmir elm tree

Ulmus wallichiana Planch., the Himalayan elm, also known as the Kashmir elm 

and Bhutan elm, is a mountain tree ranging from central Nuristan in Afghanistan, through northern Pakistan and northern India to western Nepal at elevations of 800–3000 m. Although dissimilar in appearance, its common name is occasionally used in error for the cherry bark elm Ulmus villosa, which is also endemic to the Kashmir, but inhabits the valleys, not the mountain slopes. The species is closely related to the wych elm U. glabra.

kiwi gardens in kashmir

Kiwi cultivation in Kashmir Growers in Kashmir are getting into kiwifruit in a diversification move away

from the traditional apple crops of the region. Kiwis were introduced to the region in the 1950s, but only recently has interest in exotic crops created a viable demand for it. Currently only green kiwifruits are in production, but there are plans to introduce golden varieties also.

A farmer in South Kashmir area of Pulwama district, Mahmood Khan, who had taken up cultivation of exotic fruits more than a decade back, said, "We started growing kiwi on experimental basis some 9 years ago. There were hardly any buyers for it then. But our patience has paid off, as now, the demand for it has risen in fruit markets of India, Pakistan, Gulf, and other middle-east countries. It fetches good returns in local market also and tourists also like to buy these."
