Origin and best harvesting period Clove is found in China's Hainan province and the Leizhou peninsula, but is generally produced in relatively small quantities. It is native to Indonesia, and is also produced in Sri Lanka and Zanzibar. It flowers and bears fruit in 4-5 years after planting and is in full production in 15-20 years, with a lifespan of over 100 years. There are two flowering periods each year, from December to February and from April to June. Harvesting takes place from February-July. The flower buds are ready to be harvested when they are budding and slightly reddish. Cut the buds or flowering branches with pruning shears on a sunny day after the dew has dried or in the late afternoon. Place the buds in the sun on a bamboo curtain or on the floor for 4-6 days until they are brittle and easy to break.
