brushy
Dense with undergrowth
Brushy describes land covered with dense, low vegetation—shrubs, thickets, and undergrowth rather than tall trees: The trail led through brushy terrain.
It can also describe something resembling a brush in texture, with stiff or bristly fibers standing out: brushy eyebrows, a brushy tail.
