Syzygium aromaticum, commonly known as Clove, is an evergreen tree native to the Maluku Islands (Spice Islands) of Indonesia. It is cultivated for its aromatic flower buds, which are dried and used as a spice in culinary applications and traditional medicine. The tree can grow up to 8–12 meters tall and has glossy green leaves and small, reddish flowers.
