ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to assess the effects of various irrigation frequencies and mulching treatment on the survival of seven forest tree species namely; Ailanthus altissima, Robinia pseudoacacia, Elaeagnus hortensis, Cedrus deodara. Pinus halepensis, Quercus baloot, and Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Treatments of mulching, species and irrigation frequencies indicated significant differences on initial survival of seedlings. Plants showed better survival under mulching and irrigation thrice a month, while E. camaldulensis gave the best survival (1%) followed by A. altissima (6%) after 4% years of planting.
