Clove is the dried unopened flower bud of Syzgium aromaticum, a medium statured, cone-shaped evergreen tree belonging to the family- Myrtaceae. Clove tree attains a height of 10 to 12 meter. The stem is usually forked near its base with two or three main branches. Smaller branches are slender, rather brittle and covered with grey bark. The leaves appearing in pairs, are lanceolate, acute at both ends and are of dark shining green colour. The aromatic nature of the leaves is due to numerous oil glands found on their under surfaces. The flower buds are greenish when fresh and are borne on end, which are picked green and dried in the sun till they become dark brown, from the clove of commerce. The buds have slightly cylindrical base and are surmounted by the plump ball like unopened corolla which is surmounted by the four toothed calyx.
Clove is strictly a tropical plant and it requires a warm humid climate. Although there has been a general belief that clove requires proximity to sea for the proper development and cropping, experience in India has shown that the trees do well in the submontane regions and have been found to perform better than in other areas.
