bushless
Lacking woody plants
Bushless describes something lacking a bush or bushes—either literally, as in a landscape cleared of shrubs, or technically, as in machinery designed without bushings (the cylindrical linings that reduce friction between moving parts).
The bushless bearing requires less maintenance.
The yard looked bare and bushless after the clearing.
