I am posting a few pictures of ‘All spice’ plant (a big shrub or a small tree) grown in my home garden. It looks like Pimenta dioica. Please confirm the ID/ suggest the ID. Unfortunately the flower pictures are not very clear due to camera problem.
Leaves and dried fruits are used in culinary, especially leaves for pulav !

It is an Allspice plant. I have one too. The leaves and flowers look like Allspice.


if you are using it, can you describe the decent? google images for leaves shows a variation in size and pointed or rounded tips of the leaves but i remember this plant from one of the Hawaiian bot gardens a few years ago. your leaves match my memory. flowers are similar to what … showed a few days ago. may be we can revisit his thread?

Plant for ID : Nasik : 28JAN22 : AK – 41: 2 images.
A potted plant seen at a nursery in Nasik.

Was given to understand that this is Cloves that we use as a spice.

Syzygium aromaticum?


I am doubtful as per images at Syzygium aromaticum (Cultivated)


Pimenta dioica (L.) Merr. [Myrtaceae].


Many thanks … for the correct id.
The All Spice plant.
