The urban development model of Mendoza?s Metropolitan Area is based on an important environmental green structure. Given the arid condition of the site is necessary to quantify the degree of drought tolerance that reaches the tree-species growing in the city. This study seeks to apply strategies to optimize their management and culture so as to ensure their growth in urban areas.  The paper presents the methodological analysis and results of the evaluation of the impact of water deficit on growth of young trees of  mulberry  (Morus alba), whose representation reaches 38.27%. The results show that the growth variables -height and leaf area- are directly related to the availability of water resources; while the stem growth in diameter greater extent (10.45%) when applied  irrigation treatment that involves a moderate water deficit.
