Grove (nature)

A grove is a small group of trees with minimal or no undergrowth, such as a sequoia grove, or a small orchard planted for the cultivation of fruits or nuts. Other words for groups of trees include woodland, woodlot, thicket, and stand. A grove may be called an 'arbour' or 'arbor' (see spelling differences), which is not to be confused with the garden structure pergola, which also sometimes goes under that name.
