A reply: "Almond or Badam (in Hindi) is planted in the area around Naini Tal. The photographs here are clicked at a stage when fruits have set, otherwise entire tree remain covered with white flowers. To me it is edible almond Prunus amygdalus (=Prunus dulcis) of Rosaceae. After few weeks of this stage green fruits are known as 'green almonds' in which kernel is watery but tasty. In the areas of large almond orchards in HP and Kashmir green almond are the fruits which have fallen from trees due to wind. These are much liked by the tourists. DSRawat Pantnagar"
