coppiced

Harvested for regrowth

Coppiced describes trees or woodland managed by coppicing—the practice of cutting trees near ground level to encourage new shoots to grow from the stump.

The regrowth produces multiple straight poles useful for fencing, fuel, or crafts.

The coppiced hazel produced a thicket of slender stems.

Coppiced woodland has been managed this way, often for centuries.
