For some reason I can get a true rendition of green. It is washed out. I am shooting with a T1i. I have used manual, aperture priority, speed priority, auto. Have a UV filter and that is it on the lens.
This is especially true in very bright sun.
Anyone else having this problem? How is it solved?

Take off the filter and set your WB to Sunny. Should help. You might try a CP filter too, it will enhance the greens.
I would normally suggest using manual exposure but you say you have tried that already and still can not achieve the desired results.
Shooting in bright mid day sun can be less then flattering anyway, so maybe try those same subjects in early morning or early evening light, and again use M exposure.
that sounds like a plan stan! too many kids too much sesame street!

Does your camera have a setting like vivid in the settings? It might be turned on. That will give you some bright colors in the sun.

I often turn VIVID OFF. Once greens are saturated it then is difficult to edit them.

Maybe a polarizing filter would help.
I don't have "problems." I have opportunities to learn.
Post some of the pix that you don't like.
I would but just deleted them. I will shoot some more over the next few days and see what I get....
Thanks for all the help and suggestions....

Remember that as the Real Estate people love to say; the three most important items about a property are: Location, location and location, we photographers must control 3 parameters: the light, the light and the light !
Managing your light source is the key. If the greens are weird, watch the sun and change your angle, use a Polarizer, watch out for reflections off leaves, a pond ...etc
