The evergreen trees add beauty to your home and help provide shade from the sun during hot months and offer a place to grow food year-round.
Some of these are:

A smaller evergreen tree, the Guava is an ideal tree for urban settings. Its dense canopy makes for an attractive green screen, and it grows in a wide variety of soils.
3) Moringa
