Abstract

Drought is one of the conditions in the harsh urban environment. Ornamental plants are suitable to enhance the urban environment scenario. Therefore species selection is a must to select the best ornamental plant that is able to survive and tolerate urban environment. Chrysalidocarpus lutescens is an important landscape plant in the Palmae family. The growth response of C. lutescens seedlings under drought stress was investigated. Plants were irrigated at field capacity at soil water potential -1.5 bars. After 8 months of treatments plants growth under soil water potential -1.5 bars were more suitable for urban planting due to their adaptation to drought stress.
