Abstract
Thirty five tree species were planted to determine their suitability for salt tolerance under waterlogged conditions. Analysis of the soil of the experimental site indicated that it was dispersed and varied from saline to saline-sodic in chemical composition with salinity in water. Performance of species was determined on the basis of their survival and height growth. Local species, such as, Tamarix aphylla, Acacia modesta and as well as exotic species, such as, Acacia stenophylla, Acaia ampliceps, Casuarina obesa, Eucalyptus camaldulensis Prosopes chilensis, Prosopis siliquestrum and Prosopis alba exhibited high survival rates. Eucalyptus camaldulensis had higher height growth as compared to other species.
