The village of Green Tree is located about 10 km south-southwest from the center of the regional town of Gabrovo and about 1.3 km south-east from the Hristo Smirnenski dam, built on the Panicharka River - a left tributary of the Yantra River. The village is located in the northern foothills of the Shipchen mountain, along the northwestern valley slope of the Belil river, a tributary of the Goat river, which flows into the Panicharka river. The altitude in the northwestern part of the village reaches about 770 m and decreases to about 680 m in the southeastern part.

The third-class republican road III-5006 (Gabrovo - Uzana resort complex) passes through the village of Zeleno Dro.

The name comes from a huge fir tree that was located at the lower end of the village, it took 4 people to go around it holding hands. No one can tell her age. During the war, Russian soldiers hid in the village and found their way around it. In the 1940s, the fir split and half collapsed.

In 1978, the former settlement of Zeleno dreko huts received the status of a village.
