ABSTRACT
Trees face rising drought stress and mortality with global warming and it is vital that adequate information is available on the tolerance levels of tree species. In 2012, seedlings of Diospyros mespiliformis Hochst ex A. Rich were evaluated for response to varied levels of water availability at the Aliero Teaching and Research Farm, Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Jega, Kebbi State, Nigeria. Twelve uniformly growing potted seedlings were selected and exposed to four watering frequencies (daily, once in three days, weekly and fortnightly) in a screen house. For each watering event, 200 ml of water was administered to the soil of each potted seedling. Seedling height and collar diameter were measured, while number of leaves were counted fortnightly for 16 weeks. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance, at p
