The clove tree is a tropical, perennial tree of conical bearing measuring 10 to 15 m in height with single, whole leaves.
The trunk is smooth and pale grey in colour. The flowers, with their numerous stamens, are grouped in threes on short terminal
panicles. Origin: Maluka islands. It grows in tropical, damp region at low-altitude climate. It is propagated by seedlings
immediately after the harvest. Cultivated in humid hothouses but trees rarely flower. Young plants are fragile and do not
like being transplanted.
Blooming period is irregular. Production : Flower buds picked before they bloom are dried to give us cloves. The leaves
are dried as well as the cloves to give an essence with a spicy, hot and powerful fragrance. The flower peduncles are dried
and sold as "clove claws". It has a slightly peppery odor. It is widely used as eau de toilettes for men and women
in perfumery.
