- BAlmond
- CWalnut
- DLing nut
Explanation
Karewas — the lacustrine deposits of Kashmir — are famous for saffron (Pampore), almond, walnut and apple orchards. Ling nut (singhara/water chestnut) is an aquatic crop grown in lakes such as Wular, not on Karewa uplands. Hence it is the crop not cultivated in Karewas.
