dontwakethetrees (she/her)Is there a term for a gathering of trees in an open field?
lettruthoutHow about “copse” (a small group of trees)
Thanks! I think thats the closest term to what I was thinking of.
PrismoCopse was my initial thought, but there is also the word Spinney.
Yep, came here to say just that.
A copse, as the name suggests, is a stand of trees that have been deliberately coppiced (ie, repeatedly cut near the base so that the rootstock remains alive and generates fresh branches at ground level).
A better term might be the more generic “stand”.
