Here are some better options for describing a group of shady trees:
* Grove: This is a good option for a small, clustered group of trees.
* Thicket: This implies a dense, tangled grouping of trees.
* Stand: This can refer to a larger collection of trees, often of the same species.
* Copse: This is another word for a small, dense group of trees.
You could also use a descriptive phrase:
* A cluster of shady trees
* A collection of trees casting long shadows
* A group of leafy trees offering welcome shade
Ultimately, the best word or phrase will depend on the specific context and the size and type of trees you're describing.
