Forests of wild variety are also found in Kashmir. Its local name is "Hant". It is prized not for its fruit but for its wood which is fine grained and takes a high polish.It is used for making fine furniture and for woodcarving. A woodcarver once told me that fine carving is only possible on walnut wood. In olden days it was much sought after by British officers for making rifle butts. Regards Taffazull
