bosky
Dense with shrubs
Bosky means covered with trees or bushes; wooded and overgrown.
The word is literary and somewhat archaic, evoking shaded groves and tangled undergrowth: a bosky dell, bosky thickets along the riverbank.
It derives from the same root as bush and suggests pleasant, leafy wildness rather than dense forest.
