Question
What kind of shade tree can you recommend that either stays green all year or one that has small leaves (less leaf litter)?  I live in south Georgia.  Thank you in advance.

Answer
Chinese Evergreen Oak, hard to find and finicky.
or a Chinese Elm variety (Allee, Bosk, etc.) for small leaves but not evergreen. Live Oak also good and is mostly evergreen and also has small leaves...however, find a northern Texas or local source...do not buy from south Florida sources as variety wont be hardy in your zone.

Google these three to see pictures and traits.

Good luck,
