It's "still (dustgreen) trees". The mangoes are in the trees.– Hot LicksSep 17, 2019 at 2:06

1Hi user361849. The trees are still. It means they are not moving.– Old BrixtonianSep 17, 2019 at 3:42

The author uses "...in still..." to describe the "...the (dustgreen) trees."
Since the author is describing the trees, in still is an adjective.
Using the Cambridge dictionary, still is defined as:
staying in the same position; not moving:
So the author is describing "...the (dustgreen) trees" to be not moving.
