Evergreen and if the tree has really sharp leaves with multiple points on them that continually litter the ground, moths flying from it at this time of year, and a very fissured trunk, you have a California Live Oak. Don't get me wrong, I love the two in my garden. Water can be a problem, but it sounded as if you had a patio under it though and were container gardening so water should not be a problem. The tree behind the Horse Chestnut Tree is a California Live Oak.
