Plant grafted improved almond varieties rather than seedlings for earlier and uniform bearing and better kernel quality. Several improved and selected varieties are recommended by SKUAST and the central temperate institute for the Kashmir region, including soft and paper shell types that the market prefers over hard shell. Almond mostly needs cross pollination, so you must plant compatible pollinizer varieties together that flower at the same time, and good bee activity helps pollination, so beekeeping near the orchard can improve set. Choosing varieties that flower a little later can reduce frost loss. Confirm the currently recommended main variety and matched pollinizer for your altitude with SKUAST or the temperate horticulture research station, and buy grafts from a certified nursery.

Paper shell and soft shell badam fetch more than the hard local. And you must plant the pollinizer variety with it or the set is poor. Bees at flowering time make a real difference.
