CLOVES

Clove obtained by the dismantalation of flower buds, inflorescence branches left after the buds have been removed, and the leaves is the other product of commercial value. It is a colourless or slightly yellowish liquid, becoming darker with age and exposure to the light. The clove tree is a medium sized symmetrically shaped tree with smooth grey bark. Fully grown trees are usually 15 - 20m tall.
