arboreous

Full of trees

Arboreous means relating to or resembling trees, or having many trees.

The word describes something wooded or tree-covered: an arboreous landscape.

It can also characterize things that are treelike in form or structure.

The more common variant is arboreal, which carries the same meanings but appears far more frequently in both scientific and general usage.
