Grove
A tree grouping, or grove, has no undergrowth, keeping the views open
A grove is a small grouping of trees, striking in its appearance due to the lack of undergrowth. A grove can be found naturally in the landscape or planted as an orchard or part of a designed landscape feature. In the U.K. a grove is a circular street, similar to a cul-de-sac.
What makes a grove different from a forest is the lack of undergrowth: scrub, weeds, bushes and saplings.
