Kashmir's original apple. No replica exists.

Ambri is Kashmir's ancient indigenous apple cultivated for centuries before any commercial variety arrived. It carries a Geographical Indication (GI) certification recognising its unique terroir link. Ambri's flavour is unmistakable: intensely aromatic in a way no imported variety can match. Zeebaran is investing in certified Ambri clonal preservation and high-specification GI-compliant supply chains.

Agronomy Notes

Ambri is an early-season variety well-adapted to traditional J&K orchard systems. It performs across a wider altitude range than international varieties. Its main limitation is short shelf life — post-harvest handling speed and CA access are critical to preserve premium quality. We supply certified, virus-indexed Ambri material from clean mother blocks to protect the GI lineage.
