Cloves are the aromatic flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae. Cloves are harvested at 1.5–2.0 cm long, and consist of a long calyx that terminates in four spreading sepals, and four unopened petals that form a small central ball. Cloves are the immature unopened flower buds of a tropical tree. When fresh, they are pink, dried, they turn to a rust-brown colour. Measuring 12-16 mm (1/2”-5/8”) long, they resemble small nails, with a tapered stem. The large end of the clove is the four-pointed flower bud. The dried flower buds are called cloves. Natural Clove is a small reddish brown flower bud of the tropical evergreen tree Syzygium aromaticum.
