Abstract
Physico-chemical tests on samples of of the watery exudates collected from the stilt roots of the Umbrella tree, Musanga cercropoides , collected from three locations as well as potable water from Iju Water Works, Lagos during both wet and dry seasons were carried out. Several physicochemical parameters of the exudates were within the W.H.O. limits for potable water and this finding justifies the use of the exudates as drinking water on the farms.
