Characteristics of Clove
Cloves are small evergreen trees of the Myrtaceae family and their botanical name is Eugenia caryophyllata.
Their height reaches 8–12 meters, with large leaves and bright red flowers that grow in clusters. At the end of flowering they turn into a woody fruit with a long calyx ending in four open petals that form a small central ball. Fruit production begins at the age of 6 years, and by 12 the tree produces up to 9 kg of dried cloves annually!! The clove tree can live up to 100 years. The oldest clove tree existing today is found in the Spice Islands and its age is estimated at 350–400 years. The plant is native to Indonesia, Madagascar, India, Pakistan, Tanzania and Sri Lanka.
