Diospyros crassiflora H. (Ebenaceae), commercially known as the African ebony, is a small forest tree found at elevations less than 1000 m in South Nigeria, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, and
Urban landscape plants are often grown well beyond the environmental boundaries of their native range, particularly in regard to precipitation. Irrigation mitigates water stress for plants from mesic habitats grown in arid region urban landscapes
