DESCRIPTION:Clove Processing is listed as a seasonal agro and farm experien
 ce at Edamon in Pathanapuram taluk\, Kollam district\, Kerala. The listing
  uses the place name Edamon Plantation and the line “clove drying proces
 sing.” Public maps for this listing open on Edamon village\, a foothill 
 settlement on the Punalur side of the Western Ghats\, PIN 691307. Village 
 records name rubber as the main crop and banana as the second. No publishe
 d tour\, class\, fee\, or drying calendar is attached to the village\, so 
 anyone hoping to watch cloves being dried should ask a working estate befo
 re travelling.\n\nA clove is the dried\, unopened flower bud of Syzygium a
 romaticum\, the evergreen spice tree. Pickers take the buds before they op
 en into flowers. In the Kollam belt the buds start to turn from green towa
 rd a light pink\, and that colour change is the signal to harvest. Cluster
 s are separated from the stalks by hand\, and the buds are spread in the s
 un until they turn a deep chocolate brown. Drying takes about three days w
 hen the weather holds. Fresh buds lose much of their weight as the moistur
 e leaves. A field figure often quoted for a good season is about 60 kilogr
 ams of raw clove from one tree\, falling to about one-third of that weight
  once dry. Stalks and fallen leaves are sold as well\, including to toothp
 aste makers. The finished weight depends on the tree\, the season\, and ho
 w carefully the buds are handled.\n\nThe published clove country of Kollam
  is the high range\, from Kallar inside Shendurney…\n\nEvent page: https
