bamboo groves

Asian forest stands

Bamboo groves are dense stands of bamboo, the tall woody grass that grows in thick clusters.

The phrase evokes East Asian landscapes—Chinese scroll paintings, Japanese gardens, panda habitats.

Groves suggests a natural or cultivated grouping with aesthetic or spiritual significance: We walked through the bamboo groves of Kyoto.
