tree shade
Under the branches
Tree shade is the shadow or sheltered area cast by a tree's canopy, valued for its cooling effect.
Unlike artificial shade structures, tree shade carries connotations of natural comfort and rest: We found a spot in the tree shade for our picnic.
The phrase emphasizes the source of the shade rather than just the shaded area itself.
